No excuses

Yes, there are many military personnel who return from war with PTSD. Some of them probably never had the mental toughness to deal with war in the first place and never should have gone. However, there are many more who fight the fight, witness atrocities, learn to deal with them, and go on to lead happy lives without any mental breakdowns. Some people are just more mentally tough than other people.

This is the narrative that I find troubling. It seems like most posters here are not getting it, aside from MaryGJ and romani.
