In the ILE, military history is a required course.  As I studied different aspects of war, I looked back at the experience in Iraq: a wounded soldier screaming out for Mama in the aid station, doctors at each other's throat how they could have saved a soldier's life, and an Espicopalian chaplain sprinkling holy water on tactical vehicles as they left the compound on a night patrol.  Back home, I ran into young Soldiers with limbs missing pushing wheelchairs at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  Across the town in Bethesda National Naval Medical Center, I encountered a disfigured Special Forces Soldier visiting the Prosthodontics Department for a facial prosthesis to lead a "normal life".  As veterans of war, whether combat, combat support, or combat service support, we live with the demons of war.
