And it made me think about people who think a good old war is good for us even if we have to make up the reasons to garner support.
Like I said earlier in this thread: No one who sends these people to war cares about the people they send to war...or hen/if they come back. That's the bigger problem.
Same thing has already happened for the same reasons. They lowered the standards for education, criminal offenses, drug use, even medical conditions to include mental health problems. Then send them to "resiliency" training as if it's their fault for getting PTSD. Everybody knows you don't get PTSD if you're more resilient.
