"Army National Guard Spc. Joe McNeilly hasn't been the same since he
returned from Iraq in March.

But it's not flashbacks to explosions and injured soldiers that haunt
him most. It's that he lost shared custody of his 10-year-old son
while he was serving his country...."



Does anyone know of compiled list of how many vets have lost their
families while serving their country? (UK and US)

I'm guessing because of political opportunism and the amount of
activists who have infiltrated our courts, a high number of service
men and women are losing custody.
