The Legislature has created a commission to look into the effects post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries have had on soldiers returning from the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars.

State and military officials are concerned veterans and their families fight two battles when they come home.

Soldiers are reluctant to admit problems, particularly psychological ones.

And if they do, they get tripped up in bureaucratic red tape.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Dan Gorenstein reports the commission will begin to address those issues and more starting Wednesday.
