It's been over a year since the beginning of the Iraq war and almost a year and a half since fighting started in Afghanistan and the first of New Hampshire's men and women are returning from combat. We'll take a close look at the psychology of coming home from war from combat trauma and PTSD to the war protests and adaptation to civilian life. Mike's guests are Dr. Jonathan Shay, Staff psychiatrist for the Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic in Boston and author of "Odysseus in America- Combat Trauma and the Trials of Homecoming" and Al Porche, a readjustment counselor for the Vets Center in Manchester, New Hampshire.
