Resumen de Combat ups risk of post-war violence
In war there are no unwounded soldiers, so the saying goes. A study of the psychological impact of combat appears to back that up. Members of the UK armed forces are significantly more likely than civilians to commit a violent offence during their lifetime--and the risk for those who have experienced action on the battlefield is 53% higher than for military personnel with no combat experience. The study is one of several published last week by The Lancet as part of a special report on the health consequences of the 2003-2011 Iraq war on the Iraqi population and coalition troops.
