Homeless Young Veterans Pose a Big Challenge in US

Peter Mohan never did find a steady job after he left Iraq. He lost his wife, a judge granted their divorce this fall, she just could not stand his highly erratic behaviour.
He lost his friends and he lost his home, and now he is in a shelter for the homeless.
He is only 28 years old. "People come back from war different," he offers by way of a summary when asked about his personal problems.
Or take Mike Lally.
It was in 2004, when he came back from his second tour in Iraq with the Marine Corps, that his own bumpy ride down began.
He would wake up at night, sweating and screaming, and during the days he imagined people in the shadows — a state the professionals call hypervigilence and Mike Lally calls "being on high alert, all the time."
His father-in-law tossed him a job installing vinyl siding, but the stress overcame him, and Lally began to drink. A little rum in his morning coffee at first, and before he knew it he was drunk on the job, and then had no job at all.
