A Pew Research Center poll of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans finds that “about half (51 percent) of post-9/11 veterans say that the use of military force to fight terrorism creates hatred that breeds more terrorism.” Amen. Only half say the Afghan war was worth it. Amen. Less than half say the Iraq war was worth it. Amen. Pew said its survey results found “isolationist inclinations” among post-9/11 war veterans. Amen.
I did find this disturbing: “Nearly half of post-9/11 veterans said deployments strained their relationship with their spouses, and a similar share reported problems with their children. On the other hand, 60 percent said they and their families benefited financially from having served abroad in a combat zone.”
