War changes you. Just about any veteran can tell you that. An astonishing number of veterans suffer traumatic brain injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In her " We Are Not Dead" series, photojournalist Lalange Snow shows the shocking transformation soldiers go through before, during, and after tours of duty in Afghanistan.
The physical changes are astonishing. War is cruel to the men and women who fight in them, there's no doubt about it. Soldiers often have to detach themselves emotionally, leading to higher rates of depression, alcoholism, and suicide.
Snow's goal was to honor their courage and make the public aware of the toll war takes. The more we know their stories, the less we'll want to go to war.
