Description

Right now, a veteran is saving someone's life in an Oakland trauma bay. Another prevents your power grid from failing. A third answers a 911 call with hands that learned steadiness through war. They cannot turn off the vigilance carved into their nervous systems, so America runs its nights on their insomnia. The Watch reveals the arithmetic:Veterans create $298 billion in overnight value. They earn $121 billion. Their children wake at 3:18 a.m., inheriting wars they never fought. Their spouses develop matching sleep disorders, their bodies learning secondhand vigilance. This isn't another war story. It's the economic truth of who keeps your lights on. Through verified data and four decades of documentation, this book makes the invisible undeniable. For citizens ready to see—and settle—democracy's debt.
