This is an abstract and not the entire article but the summary is noteworthy.
When we calculate the financial costs I think Americans need to plan on supporting the after care for combat veterans. Is everyone on this forum willing to reach into their pockets and pay for this care. Do we leave the debt for our children or do we face this and pay for this now?

In addition to psychiatric care, we have an unprecedented number of severely disabled veterans returning from Iraq. Our medical abilities in the field are saving thousands. When calculating the cost of the Iraq war these numbers are not included. Are you ready to accept the challenge and pay for this?
