I had a couple of flights yesterday so I caught up on my reading of military
magazines -- Proceedings, Marine Corps Gazette, Air Force,
and Army. Brig. Gen. Loree Sutton, the Army's highest-ranking
psychiatrist, tells her service's magazine what sort of homecoming soldier
worries her most:




As a psychiatrist, I must say that an individual who comes back from 12 to 15
months, moreover a series of repeat tours over the last nine years, and says,
'It hasn't affected me at all' -- that's the person I'm most concerned about.
