Some have lost arms or legs, others suffer from blindness or trauma. Hailed as heroes at home, the soldiers in Purple Hearts speak longingly of a desire to return to duty. Yet their future remains problematic, as American society grows increasingly ambivalent about the war and the military fails to create a place for them.
