Not every horrifying sight gives someone PTSD. Seeing lots of death and destruction over a long period of time, and some of those deaths being your friends or civilian casualties usually drives some people to the PTSD train. Though I know people who claim PTSD from the rocket and mortar attacks that I usually just slept through. Every person is different I guess- some are more likely than others to develop PTSD. That's why they're pushing resiliency training- try to give guys the tools to deal with combat stresses before they even happen. PTSD is weird.

If I were SECDEF I'd do my god damned best to permanently end the DoD's disgorged gall bladder: The USMC. I'd piss off every single one of those motard vets doing it but it would be a net positive for the DoD in the biggest of ways.

Have you ever killed someone? I realize most military never even see combat, let alone close enough for a confirmed kill. So any action where you "pulled the trigger" so to speak to set in motion a attempt to take someone out. Yes. I was really young (compared to now) and in a constant state of mania from (Then undiagnosed) Bipolar disorder. So at the time my empathy was way outta whack and I had very few feelings about the deaths of EKIA or Civvies getting whacked. It was all just an elaborate game to me. Not the case now but I'm medicated, so that helps. The pills generally help.

I got my CAB from the Army, but I was USAF. Years later the Air Force came up with the combat action ribbon or whatever but I never looked into getting one.
