dr. wright is talking about is a natural instinct of those people born to become warriors and that is they will naturally protect. that's what they do. they protect. it's a natural instinct to do something for your friends, to help your friends. i thought baisden uncles and cousins were world war ii veterans. they're fighting for democracy. are you kidding me? all they want to do was get the job done, get home alive with all the things they could. it never changes. caress the billions we have to be extremely careful because what we have here is a precious gift from nature, which is you have young people who will sacrifice body, lynn and life because they want to help and be part of the group into all of that. it's a natural urge and they'll do it, but were the ones who have to use it wisely and put them in the right place. so this idea of doing it for patriotism you can say that. i know for me and my father and uncles and push came to shove, when it was down to the real dark and dirty in combat, we weren't thinking about anything like that. so the adults have to say let's use this gift wis

dr. wright, you know, with your work with veterans' groups, what's in the works to, you know, help employment opportunities for returning veterans? is there any special treatment are they feeling even more isolated because now they're trying to rejoin the economy when unemployment's high when maybe they don't have the education? >> yeah, steve, that's a critical point. unemployment is high for returning veterans than it is for the population as a whole, and a part of the it has to do with the fact the economy has changed dramatically. the enlisted men and women have a high school education, they do not have any college, and that part of our population is having great difficulty getting jobs. my counseling efforts in the hospital, the one that i helped to set up down at walter reed has been to encourage them to continue with their education. i think it's crucial. it's a different war than their fathers' war. when they came home from vietnam, there was still plenty of blue collar jobs. certainly after world war ii that was the case. it's not the case now. so i do think that education is critica
