What kinds of problems do non military contractors suffer when they return home?
The fortunate non military workers who toiled on defense bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and who do return home suffer the same kinds of post traumatic combat-related mental health problems that afflict U.S. soldiers. Unfortunately these contractors fly under the radar when it comes to being adequately treated. Contract workers who are wounded or disabled in the war zones are treated in military hospitals, but once home, they are not eligible for care in the military or VA system.
