    In previous conflicts the troops would have days, sometimes weeks, together on the homeward trip from combat to civilian life, time they spent with their comrades unwinding and talking about the return to civilian life, now the transition can take as little as a few hours. This will obviously increase the 'culture shock' effect and a simple solution, in a lot not all cases, could be to give the troops some down time together half way between the combat zone and a return to civilian life. Give them time to adjust in a familiar military environment with others who have shared the experiences so that they can slip more easily back to a safer home situation. Just a thought.
