"But, nevertheless, the generation that carried on the war has been set apart by its experience. Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing." Oliver Wendell Holmes
"I'm sorry I must leave, but I must do what is asked of me by my God, my Country, and my Corps.. and so, the war blog begins, again." ~B

Wartorn: 1861-2010
HBO has done an excellent documentary on PTSD called Wartorn: 1861-2010. It gives a good accounting of the scope and history of the aftermath of war. Through individual accounts it shows the personal devastation and change that these invisible wounds can have on soldiers and their families. I was particularly interested in the Civil War and WWI letters and video imagery. Definitely worth a watch.
