What's with all the mental disorders in soldiers nowadays? Are they softer than previous generations of warriors?
No...just dealing with really different shit than previous generations.
Due to technology never in any war have we had SO MANY survivors. Esp repeated survivors....
Look at me...I got shot in the head with a fucking RPG man, oh it pushed my shit in something fierce, good enough for the Army to 100% retire my ass with no hassle or dispute about it after all the surgery/therapy.... but I lived. High tech bad ass helmet no shit saved my life...and that wasn't the first time either. I have been shot 7 times, stabbed with a screwdriver and blown up in IED's probably 2-3 hundred times. Lot more purple hearts out there, and PH's with numbers on them too.
You just can't go from killing/people trying to kill you and bam 15 hr flight later you have to take the family out for grocery shopping and soccer practice and 9-12 mo later back to the meat grinder for round 2, 3, 4, some times as many as 8 or 9 times before you just quit giving a fuck about stupid shit both here and there. And that makes someone certifiable....or like me, fucking questionable at best.
