Sad stuff for sure. It’s not just the wars that ruin these peoples minds, though. I had a roommate that went through boot camp and was obviously damaged by whatever they put him through there. Was a very laid back free thinker before he went in and as soon as he got back you could see an instant change in his personality. It was very scary seeing how much they broke him down and reshaped his mind in such a short time. I understand they have to make killing machines, but it’s sad what they do to our soldiers mental health in the process. Add to that what they go through in an actual war and I can’t even begin to imagine how we can begin to fix the PTSD issues they go through. I have so much respect for anyone that sacrifices their mental well being to serve and protect us. I hope we can someday find a way to help them all cope with what they’ve been put through because of it.
