What reading level is The Veteran Comes Back book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Frequently, the professional veteran is disabled. In such a case his honorable wounds and disabilities, however great a personal handicap, become a professional asset. Such a man is McGonegal, who has made a profession of helping other cruelly wounded men. Such a man was the famous Corporal Tanner of G. A. R. Days who had lost both legs in action and thus made, as Powell remarks, "a pathetically impressive appearance as a veteran. " Tanner was for a time Commissioner of Pensions under President... Harrison, and though he soon had to be dismissed, he was in office long enough to make good on his promise to drive a six-mule team through the Treasury in the interest of the veterans. 8 There is no earthly reason why a veteran, especially a crippled one, should not turn his war record to advantage if he can. Often the manner in which he does this is entirely praiseworthy, as when a disabled veteran spends his time in helping others. Unfortunate political results sometimes ensue when the professional, in order to consolidate his leadership, persuades other veterans to demand things that they do not need.
