“Do yourself a favor and actually meet a soldier before practicing any more of your armchair psychology on them.”
You are entitled to your narrow minded opinions, not facts.
Some peopple not all, suffer psychological problems when faced with any kind of traumatic event, war, a car accident.
We are human beings not gods, and sometimes we need a little help. This is life.
Again, get off your holier than thou high horse.
Our soldiers are human beings, they laugh and cry too,
and sometimes they need our help.
No different than doctors or police officers.
I would like to see how well you hold yourself together when you see your best friend get their face and eyes blown off, or seeing a mutilated corpse of a woman whose head and limbs cut off.
Our soldiers are well trained and well prepared for urban combat, hence the success in the worst place, Felujah,
But there are always a few people that are affected by what they experience.
Again, READ before lecturing me about the mind.
Nice of you to change your tune. I was getting tired of that crap you were spewing about it being normal standard procedure for our troops to crack under pressure, and go on killing sprees because they’d seen blood. So now you’re willing to concede that they don’t all do that.
During the 1970’s I got to hear plenty of a-holes telling those same demeaning lies about our troops, and couching it behind that same false concern about their mental health. I’m not going to shut up and listen to you try to tear down our troops again. This isn’t about getting them mental health assistance. They get that when they need it without any interference from the likes of you. This is about a coward’s attempt to attack our troops, without having to actually face their enemy nor engage in real combat.
Your tactics worked real well thirty years ago. Not so much today. Our troops are getting the respect they deserve, and your psyche 101 approach to smearing them is seen for the farce that it is.
