Veterans Day is observed and all three newscasts filed sympathetic features about the military. Jim Miklaszewski for NBC's In Depth looked at those on active duty suffering from depression and traumatic stress. Chaplains are the first line of defense for preventing suicide, "spiritual combat buddies." On CBS, Kelly Wallace offered a preview of Lioness, the PBS documentary on female soldiers drawn into combat in Iraq despite the Pentagon's prohibition. Patty Culhane covered the lioness squads--designated to frisk civilian women while preserving their modesty--for NBC in July. Bob Woodruff on ABC's A Closer Look chose the Transition Training Academy for disabled veterans in San Diego. It offers hi-tech occupational training for those about to become civilians once more.
