AB Soldiers have been killed and wounded in wars throughout history. With new medical technologies, more soldiers survive their injuries and return home. Unfortunately, those injuries often include permanent disabilities either through loss of limb(s) or brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder, among other possibilities. Perhaps equally unfortunate is the way that soldiers with disabilities and persons with disabilities generally are hidden from view. This essay argues that this hiding is deliberate. The military hides soldiers with disabilities to protect its image; society hides people with disabilities as way to cope, through denial, with the fear and likelihood that able-bodied people will themselves, one day, number among those who are disabled.
