Students Who Are Iraq/Afghanistan War Veterans, What Do We Need To Know?

The Chronicle of Higher Education discusses the psychological life of our students who are recent combat veterans.  As the article reminds us, "We in the teaching profession, on campuses where the military/civilian gap still yawns far too wide, have an obligation to help our students understand what soldiers go through and what our responsibility as citizens is to those whom we send to war. We owe soldiers not just public respect, but private respect. One way to give that respect is by understanding, empathically, the moral weight of war that they carry."
