A recent article in the New York Times which was picked up by many other publications indicated that programs designed to help physically and psychologically wounded veterans transition into civilian life is still failing miserably.

The Warrior Transition Unit (WTU) at Fort Carson, Colorado, was the focus of the article, although there are many such units in the country. The WTU’s are supposed to help soldiers wounded in combat transition to civilian life or in some cases return to their units.
