I think this fits here

Are you serious? War has consistently been a major contributing factor to psychological trauma throughout history.

Do us all a favor and look up "PTSD" in any medical or psychological dictionary. It's been known as a psychological condition for over a century (though there are records of psychological distress that date back thousands of years).

To be perfectly honest, if you join the military expecting an easy life with stress, then you're an absolute arse.

If you're in the armed forces, and you wimp out because of stress, then you should be shot somewhere and told to grow up. If you joined, you should know the risks.

I would like to see anyone here go live in a warzone and play dodgeball with bullets with fanaticals and see how they fare. I will agree, if you willingly go into it, you should know what you're getting yourself into, but NOBODY here has a right to judge them, at all.

Pfft...everyone knows that PTSD is just psychobabble and it's not really real. Those soldiers are pussies. Just like evolution isn't real. Neither is gravity.

Gotta agree with K_A. But there really is two sides to the story.... Meh.

I should have been more specific. I meant stress cards in training. Seems like an easily abusable system. Then again I'm sure if they abuse it their drill sargeant kicks their ass during the night.

Thats what I thought you meant I damned well know shooting at another person is hard for some people. And you don't even fight in a real war they hire 45 year old marksmen and place them all over with Barret fifty cal.' and they usually shoot anything that so much as moves. Mind you guys who have been in the Military long enough.

Now WHO THE FUCK JOINS THE MILITARY NOT KNOWING THEY MIGHT HAVE TO SHOOT SOMEONE OR BE SHOT!? Stop being stupid KA it's bad enough that you are white...

I joined knowing damn well that if it came down to it I was going to shoot someone else. End of story now shut the fuck up you gloriefied pussy. I not once thought twice and I didn't even come back crazy and when I hear loud noises I ALWAYS looked even when I was a kid. Just because you look at the source of something loud it doesn't mean you have PTSD even people who jump at that shit have done so before they were in the military and some never even joined. Stop being stupid you fucktard. According to you the Darwin Awards shouldn't even exist, with all that uninformed griping...

FYI I think you should stop watching war documentaries they are so hashed they should be called movies. I was put in the most active fucking regions and never had to shoot once. Snipers do all the work everyone else is there as backup. Why don't you join before you talk about shit that you learned from scared little kids that jumped on a boat without thinking about the consequences!

What's wrong with being white? Are you a racist?

Now WHO THE FUCK JOINS THE MILITARY NOT KNOWING THEY MIGHT HAVE TO SHOOT SOMEONE OR BE SHOT!?

Just because you willingly partake in a stressful activity does not make it less stressful, or frightening. That is the quintessence of courage.

stress is based completely on emotion! and mental capacity, if you can't take it then dont' do it.
