Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
By ending hostilities with Iran, this resolution would reduce the pipeline of new veterans dealing with combat-related injuries, PTSD, and other long-term health effects from a potential prolonged military conflict. Fewer veterans would need to rely on the VA system for combat-related care if hostilities are curtailed before they escalate further.
