3. "young men who will never be the men they were before the Iraq war."
No, they will never be the same, but they will not be lesser men.

One of the greatest men I know of is a quadrapalegic, from an accident in his thirties. He is an educator and spiritual guide for many many people.

One thing these young men will learn is that their manhood does not depend on physical "perfection." They will learn things about strength and love which they never could have believed possible.

Thank you for posting this, schultzee. You are so right, we need to make sure these veterans and their life-long struggles are not forgotten.
