The Myth of our Returning Veterans and Violent Crime

by Lt.Col. Dave Grossman. Check out this great article in Recovery Today. This myth-busting article discusses false assumptions about returning veterans and violent crime.

When any of us describe the the pain and the healing that veterans bring home after combat, we need to take care to not make assumptions. Thank you Lt. Col. Grossman for a great article.
