More Information
Summary:Surviving casualties suffer from a wide variety of injuries, including amputations (see https://www.vietnamwaramputee.org/resources for resources for amputees), traumatic brain injury (see the New England Journal of Medicine article "Traumatic Brain Injury in the War Zone": http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/352/20/2043), and post-traumatic stress disorder (http://www.ncptsd.va.gov). The sexual slavery of Korean women for Japanese soldiers in World War II has been brought to light recently (http://www.gwu.edu/~memory/research/bibliography/comfortwomen.html), and recent and ongoing gender-based violence in war is addressed on the Web page of a UN symposium on the topic (http://www.unfpa.org/emergencies/symposium06).
