Perhaps nothing can comfort a soldier on the battlefield like thoughts of home.

But for many soldiers, the hardest part comes after the fighting's stopped.

To get a better idea of how the war in Iraq may affect troops after they've returned, we turn to Jack O'Neil. Jack's from center Barnstead. He's co-founder and current president of the Psychological Operations Veterans Association. He served as a psy-ops field team leader during Vietnam. We asked him what it was like when he came home from that war.
