- Abstract
JANUARY 25, 2021 "I got out of the Marines and within a few years, 15 of my buddies had killed themselves", one veteran rifleman who served two tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq between 2003 and 2011 said to me recently. A Gaping Hole in Our Knowledge My colleagues and I have started to examine the indirect costs of war through interviews with people who have born witness to war or lived through it, as has the U.S. government through its own limited collection of statistics. The toll in such lives - what might be thought of as indirect deaths from combat - that we've endorsed by failing to welcome home and provide adequately for the some two million servicemembers who have fought in "our" wars should be a focus of our attention and yet is largely unnoticed.
