There are hundreds of American Soldiers who go flight for our country’s peace, yet they do not think about the challenges that they can face when they return to the civilian world. It is very common for a returning veteran to face PTSD. “War veterans brought PTSD to public attention. But PTSD can stem from traumatic incidents, such as mugging, rape, torture, being kidnapped or held captive, child abuse, car accidents, train wrecks, plane crashes, bombings, or natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes.” (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/magazine/issues/winter09/articles/winter09pg10-14.html) Many returning veterans face with PTSD and they also face challenges when wanting to find a regular job in the civilian life. It is not easy for both the veteran and the employer. The veteran has to face with traumatic situations and/or feelings. There whole life may be affected do to a bombing that they experience, for example. Some returning veterans face with many difficulties; some veterans might feel like they are still at war and when they here a simple thunderstorm, for example, they might react like if they were in war. It is very crucial and hard for the employer to hire a returning veteran. An employer might feel scared and/or intimidating when it comes to hiring a veteran because they do not know what fears or traumas they are facing with. Employers have to think about hiring someone who has been trained to shoot anyone who seems to be a threat, for example. Returning veterans face with many difficult situations such as PTSD or not being able to find a job when they return from war. There life could never be the same.
