This book is more cohesive than I could even fathom expecting and it's a masterpiece.
“‘The brave individuals who wear the cloth of this great Nation in combat deserve our deepest gratitude. It is remarkable all they have accomplished. I am incredibly proud of them and of their families. That said, they are tired. The persistent high operational tempo of this war, the terrible things some have seen or experienced in combat, have undoubtedly taken a toll on them. Many are struggling with the “invisible wounds” of this war, including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety.’” (157)
