The Military-Civilian Gap
War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
10.05.11
As the U.S. marks the 10th anniversary of the longest period of sustained warfare in its history, the vast majority of veterans of the post-9/11 era are proud of their military service and say it has helped them mature as human beings. More than eight-in-ten would advise a young person close to them to join the military.
However, only a third (34%) of these veterans say that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have both been worth fighting. And many report difficulties readjusting to civilian life.
Findings are based on nationally representative surveys of post-9/11 veterans, pre-9/11 veterans and the general public.
