Actually when you read the article, it is not about war veterans, it is mostly about older military personnel (above 50), most of whom never served in conflicts.
My reasoning for this case is that military people retire younger than most other professions, and suddenly they face a situation where there are no routines, no community to belong to, it is probably a hard situation to adapt and find a new purpose for life.
Not taking any position on the need of military, just trying to understand why this situation prevails.
