For most of us I can see it. But I’d have a really hard time telling the combat veteran I know that gets a panic attack every time he gets stuck in bumper to bumper traffic that he needs to keep that. Or the combat veteran I know that needs sedation every Independence Day. These memories don’t enrich their lives, there’s no big learning experience from them. Just scarring crap that makes their lives more difficult.
Not a combat vet. Though I was married for 22 years!
