Damaged . How many vets go nuts, quite a few. Especially in the USA.


Mental health: 1 in 5 veterans have symptoms of a mental health disorder or cognitive impairment. PTSD is more common among veterans who deployed, and veterans who use VA health care.


Substance use: 1 in 6 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have a substance use disorder. More than 2 in 10 veterans with PTSD also have a substance use disorder.


Homelessness: One in ten U.S. veterans has experienced homelessness.


Incarceration: 181,000 veterans are incarcerated in U.S. jails or prisons.


Transition: Transitioning back to civilian life can be difficult. Veterans may struggle to find a purposeful life through employment, service, or education.
