What They Signed Up for

Category : Afghan War, 2001-
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
They grew up on wheat farms in Eastern Washington, on a reservation in Oklahoma, in military housing on an Air Force base in Arizona. They signed up to be Marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors, and they became medics, truck drivers, mechanics, and infantrymen. They enlisted to honor family tradition, to find purpose in their lives, to lift themselves out of poverty, to be patriots. And they went to war. In What They Signed Up For, eighteen American veterans tell their stories of going to war and life after they came home. In the cities of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, they witnessed the carnage of IEDs and survived daily mortar attacks. They put friends in body bags and saw others grievously wounded. But for many veterans, the war didn't end when they took off their uniform. The invisible wounds of war run deeper, and are more painful, than America wants to know. The cost of war continues back home.
