The focus of the rebalance should avoid the risk of the decreased ground force personnel to the extent detailed in the QDR 2014. To reconcile this rebalance in light of…

Military deployment may adversely affect not only returning veterans, but their families, as well. As a result, researchers have increasingly focused on identifying risk and protective factors for successful family adaptation to war-zone deployment, re-integration of the returning veteran, and the longer-term psychosocial consequences of deployment experienced by some veterans and families.

Let’s start with the fact that there are five (5) military personnel from various branches and one police officer sitting in awkward looking chairs, in a plain room with one coffee-type table in the middle of the room and small in-style table between Will Smith’s character and 2nd Lieutenant Jake Jensen. The room itself would make any analytical person start to question what is going on here. Agent Zed gives his speech about all the testing they will go through, along with his explanation of…

Alongside veterans, military families make many sacrifices, and it is essential that those sacrifices are met with support by the government.
