Below is the link to a very sad article from Newsweek about the psychological impact war has on the individual.
The war never really goes away from those who have been there. This article highlights the affect the current war is having on Veterans of previous wars, Vietnam in particular. I guess they are the living proof that the wars have a lot in common.

There is only so much a vet can do to distance themself from a past they would rather forget -- but they can't un-see or un-do, or un-hear, or un-feel, or un-taste, or un-smell. It is part of us and we all act differently based on the relative stress levels we endured. I'm no shrink but I have seen people drastically change after some experiences over there.
