Opioid drug abuse has killed more Americans than the Iraq, Afghanistan
and Vietnam wars combined, and U.S. veterans and advocates are focusing on how to help victims of the crisis.

overdoses of the highly addictive painkillers, a rate that reflects high
levels of chronic pain among vets, particularly those who served in the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to federal data.
