Newt Gingrich: ‘The war at home’ focuses on opioid addiction
By Newt Gingrich (Original source Fox News)
“In my new novel “Collusion,” which I co-wrote with Pete Earley, our main character is Brett Garrett, a Navy SEAL who is injured in a helicopter crash.
Due to his injuries and pain, Garrett becomes addicted to opioids. We wrote the story this way because many brave men and women who serve in our armed forces have similar stories.
The latest episode of the “Newt’s World” podcast is “the War at Home.” It takes a closer look at opioid addiction and pain management in the military community.
It is an important episode because most Americans don’t realize the struggle that some of our veterans face once they return from combat. For many, addiction proves just as dangerous – and as deadly – as warfighting.
In the episode, Earley and I are joined by retired Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoonmaker, a medical doctor, Ph.D., and Army veteran. Schoonmaker spent four decades as a commissioned officer, and four years as the 42nd Army surgeon general and commanding general of the Army Medical Command.”
