Caring for Wounded Veterans: A Strategy in the GWOT

Abstract

Winning the long war against terror and radical ideology requires maintaining the will of the American people through active Strategic Communication. To maintain long-term national will, one paramount message must be conveyed to the American public in no uncertain terms. The nation must be assured that when they entrust their most precious and valued asset, their sons and daughters, to the United States Government, the government will ensure the long-term mental and physical well-being of its veterans. This project examines what needs to be done to ensure that the United States Government provides immediate and long-term care and support to America's wounded veterans, regardless of their physical injury or mental illness. To ensure the long-term care of wounded veterans, true "seamless transition" between government interagency as well as non-governmental organizations is essential.
