How come Soldiers that have finished serving their duty come home and start having those problems like flashback, get sicks?

So how do you do that? You think you can go into combat seeing people wounded, killed that may have lost limbs and severe injury due to explosives like in an IED attack and it not affect you?

You think you can train your mind to ignore all that?

How a bout the worry and stress in being in combat? You think in any type of training you can replicate that? A service member knows when they are TRAINING. They know it's training. They are not in danger and aren't going to catch a round or be caught in an IED attack etc

You think since man has fought with clubs to the present day there is anyway to eliminate PTSD or other mental issues that can arrive from combat? I guess next you will say that our Police, Fire Fighers, First responders and medical professionals need to "toughen up" too?

PTSD can AFFECT ANYONE.. You don't have to go through combat. POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. Civilians can get it from any type of traumatic event in their lives. I know someone who was a victim of spousal abuse. She was diagnosed with it.

Even military members that aren't in a combat role can get it. They are in a combat zone and face attack on base or if they have to travel as part of their duties can come under attack in convoys etc.

You can't make people robots..sorry that's reality.

How do you suggest that the "military leaders" make this happen?

It is called "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" (PTSD)

for a reason...it happens after the Fact...

There is NO Cure for Combat PTSD...NONE

As there are Actual changes in the Brain...

that CANNOT be repaired...EVER !!!!

If they do a Brain Scan it WILL Show Up...

Big "White Blank Spots"...

With Treatment they can hope to Live

a half way Normal Life...

With Out Treatment...there is basically No Hope...

The Prisons and Grave Yards are FULL of

Untreated Combat PTSD Veterans...

Soldiers are trained to be mentally fit as well as physically and are constantly briefed on ptsd and where to get help. Most return home just fine, some don't.

Dude, be careful with this one, you can train all day, but when your out in battle zones, and your constantly under pressure, of being killed by a sniper, driving and seeing kids playing on side of road, not knowing if one has a gun or explosive s, road side bomds, watching your friends get shot up bleeding, dude these guys comin back need anti stress help, and lur government can care less, its disgusting how we treat these heros fighting for a country that seems not to give a sht about them after they leave...

This kind of thing has happened since before the Roman Legionnaires came home from wars.

Most people come unglued at the scene of a car accident.

My step dad was part of escorting EOD out in convoy's in search of IED's. They hit 4 roadside bombs out there and he watched 3 of his friends die. but yeah too bad the army didn't train him to get over that like it's no big deal.

After being in war, seeing all kinds of bad ****, it gets to you, and its hard to adapt to civilian life. when i got back if i even heard an airplane id be on the ground. thankfully, im not that bad anymore. its just that the soldier gets used to military life and when he comes home hes not used to being a civilian anymore.

Wtf is wrong with you?

They're more mentally tough than any other profession, and it begins to be instilled in them day 1 at boot camp.

What you are talking about is PTSD, a mental disorder.

Why can't rape victims just toughen up, right?

So much ignorance in such a short question.

Being tough has nothing to do with seeing your best friend blown up...
