bilby commented on the word invisible wound
"Recently Republican Senator John Cornyn from Texas, a state with 15 major military bases, noted that as many as one in five U.S. veterans is expected to suffer from at least one invisible wound of war, if not a combination of them, 'including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury.' Left untreated, such wounds can become very visible: witness, for example, the recent wave of suicides that have swept through the military, at least 128 in 2008, and 24 in January 2009 alone."
