an increase in veterans who were exposed to psychologically
traumatic situations while serving in Iraq. For example,
a soldier assigned to a Bradley armored vehicle may
be required to spend hours confined inside the Bradley,
withstand insurgent attacks, or encounter an improvised
explosive device (IED) which kills other members of
his or her unit. Such experiences can drive the bravest
of men and women to the depths of distress. When they
return home, though the war is well behind them, the
effects of it are not, and a veteran may exhibit symptoms
of post traumatic stress disorder.

one who notices extreme behaviors that did not exist
