"Finkel, a journalist, follows the soldiers who serve in the Iraq War as they struggle to reintegrate into American society"-- Provided by publisher.
" In The Good Soldiers, his bestselling account from the front lines of Baghdad, Finkel shadowed the men of the 2-16 Infantry Battalion as they carried out the infamous surge, a grueling fifteen-month tour that changed all of them forever. Now Finkel has followed many of those same men as they've returned home and struggled to reintegrate -- both into their family lives and into American society at large. In the ironically named Thank You for Your Service, Finkel writes with tremendous compassion not just about the soldiers but about their wives and children. Where do soldiers belong after their homecoming? Is it possible, or even reasonable, to expect them to rejoin their communities as if nothing has happened? And in moments of hardship, who are soldiers expected to turn to if they feel alienated by the world they once lived in? These are the questions Finkel faces as he revisits the brave but shaken men of the 2-16. More than a work of journalism, [the book] is an act of understanding -- shocking but always riveting, unflinching but deeply humane, it takes us inside the heads of those who must live the rest of their lives with the chilling realities of war"-- Provided by publisher.
As the author puts it: Thank You for Your Service is a journey into the lives of those who returned to the United States from war in Iraq but could no longer fit into the space that they had occupied before deployment. It is about post-war disease, about PT...

3.5 太苦了看不到希望,最没想到的是Adam的老婆Saskia也患上了焦虑症(于是认真思考起BN的PTSD文里还是写得太轻巧了)。还好有Fred和Patti这样的人,算是一点光明所在。
评分cost of war: when we ask young men and women to go to war, what are we asking of them? And when they return what are we thanking them for?

评分just started watching Homeland when reading this book...soldiers with PTSD do have access to facilities, private or state-run, but neither is effective. made me wonder if the PTSD treatment sector should be corporatized.. really liked Finkel's voice, its clear and calm. enjoyed the book a lot
