Abstract

The Wounded Wait in Line
Castelli, Jim | September 6, 1971 issue

One of the most incomprehensible tragedies of the Indochinese war has been the shabby treatment of the men who have had to light it. They can't understand their experience, and no one seems able to explain it to them, when they return, they can't find work-almost 400,000 of them are unemployed, they may have become addicted to heroin while in Southeast Asia and, while helicopter evacuation and medical progress have kept alive many men who would have died in previous wars, conditions in most Veteran Affair hospitals make proper treatment and rehabilitation virtually impossible.
