How does the lack of support for contractors compare to the support provided to veterans, and what are the implications of this disparity?

The AOWC's formation highlights the often-overlooked contributions and challenges faced by civilian contractors in war zones. While approximately half of those employed during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were contractors, they have historically lacked the institutional support and recognition afforded to veterans. This points to a need for greater transparency and accountability in managing and supporting the civilian workforce involved in military operations.
