Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
By potentially ending hostilities before they expand into a prolonged conflict, this resolution could reduce the number of veterans who return home with combat injuries, PTSD, and other service-connected conditions. Fewer extended deployments would also mean fewer families experiencing the long separations and stresses that come with wartime service.
