The act of killing in combat is associated with heightened risks of PTSD and suicide. A scholar interviewed 30 veterans about their common experiences.
the crux of this entire piece is “this guy did his job, and now hes sad – lets feel bad for him.”
i suppose him feeling bad that he murdered a father in front of his 6 year old child for the crime of driving a car is preferable to him bragging about it and demanding praise, but frankly the difference is irrelevant to me. if this guy doesn’t use his trauma to save future lives and to protest the corporate death machine he uncritically served so he could live out a “Call of Duty” type fantasy, I don’t give a shit about him. but to be fair, i have friends who are ex-military who did tours in Iraq and I know that arc takes some time.
