American soldiers who have returned home from the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are facing tough challenges. The Department of Veterans Affairs says, last year nearly 50,000 of the veterans were either homeless or in a federal program aimed at keeping them off the streets. High rate of unemployment and post traumatic stress disorder among the veterans have raised the rate of suicide among them. A large number of US troopers who were deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan come from the lower class. They were promised a better future by the department of defense. Long costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have failed to end militancy in the two countries.
