Inhaltsangabe

On March 19, 2003 the U.S. military launched one of the most massive land invasions in the history of warfare. Ten years later many of the same American soldiers and Marines who served during that invasion are now missing limbs, dead from suicide, medicated for psychological disorders, unemployed, or struggling with little income and piles of debt. Veterans Notes explains these issues through the eyes of Scott Albright, a former Marine who was deployed twice to Iraq during his time in service from 2000-2004. Read Scott's notes, thoughts, newspaper articles, and blog post as he discusses important domestic and foreign policy issues involving information operations, humanitarian assistance, approaches to peace, and veterans health & education. Veterans Notes provides a unique perspective on issues soldiers face after serving in war zones and then returning to "normal" civilian life shortly after. Scott brings those issues home so readers can better understand America's heroes.
