Why it matters
The abrupt end to the war in Afghanistan left 800,000 veterans and their families feeling betrayed, sparking a mental health crisis.
Many veterans feel abandoned by society and are withdrawing from leadership roles, while military recruitment plummets.
This play sheds light on the struggles of veterans, encouraging civilians and leaders to truly understand their sacrifices.
"Last out is raw. it's Real. it's necessary for civilians and politicians to see and understand"
- Gary Sinise
