And for six-in-ten recent veterans, at least one of these deployments was to Iraq, Afghanistan or another combat zone.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A comprehensive survey of post-9\/11 veterans conducted July 28-Sept. 4, 2011 by the Pew Research Center\u2019s Social &amp; Demographic Trends project found that these deployments brought extra rewards \u2014 and greater hardships \u2014 for those who served. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post-9\/11 veterans were nearly twice as likely as earlier generations of military to say their deployment has had a positive impact on their financial situation (60% vs. 32%). Depending where they are sent, troops can qualify to receive Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay, Imminent Danger or Hostile Fire Pay and a cash bonus if they re-enlist while serving in a combat zone. In addition, they do not have to pay federal income tax on their military earnings while serving in a combat zone.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The burden of deployment in the post-9\/11 era has fallen particularly hard on married service members. Nearly half of all recent veterans (48%) who were married while in the military say their deployments put a strain on their marriages; this view was shared by just 34% of married veterans in previous eras. Additionally, 16% of post-9\/11 veterans say the impact of long separations on their marriages was positive \u201333% report no impact. <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/social-trends\/2011\/10\/05\/war-and-sacrifice-in-the-post-911-era\/4\/#chapter-3-fighting-a-decade-long-war?src=prc-number\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veterans of the post-9\/11 wars found extra rewards as well as greater hardships stemming from their deployments.
