In the shadows of war, a silent battle is being fought. They are the private military and security contractors, whose sacrifices often go unacknowledged. While the world focuses on uniformed personnel, who cares for those who operate outside the traditional military structure when they return home? Imagine facing down a terrorist attack, enduring a natural disaster, or being in an active war zone, only to discover that the healthcare you desperately need is not a right.
Through harrowing, real-life accounts (with names changed to protect identities), this book peels back the curtain on a critical yet overlooked disparity. We examine the healthcare experiences of contractors, comparing their support to that of non-combatant military personnel, and reveal startling shortcomings and inequities.
Are you ready to uncover the truth about those who serve in the shadows and discover how we can better support them?
