What's the most difficult part of returning home from war?
Members of the armed forces are often presented with this question — and some are now speaking out. Using the popular smartphone application Whisper, many soldiers have turned to the social network to reveal what they struggle with after returning to civilian life.
Whisper guarantees its users absolute privacy and, as a result, some of the confessions are raw and powerful.
