The War in Iraq The Iraq War has been called the new “Vietnam”. Many
soldiers who come back have mental problems, similar to what we saw after Vietnam. “Nearly one in 10 American soldiers who served in Iraq were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, most after witnessing death or participating in combat, according to a Pentagon study” (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11609834/).
