Here’s an interesting study done by the Gallup organization, about how veterans rate their personal well-being – and there are some surprising difference between genders and age groups. Survey data showed that female veterans rated their well-being higher than male veterans and equal to female non-veterans; male veterans viewed their lives in a significantly less positive light than all females and male non-veterans.
