I’ve known several soldiers over the years and all had struggles with depression and possibly PTSD. I obviously wouldn’t want to present these limited data points as conclusive evidence, but I’ve been struck by the extent to which combatants pay a high price for their jobs. I feel sorry for them, because no-one tells them about this when they’re recruited. It’s a real bait and switch: promises of comraderie, glory and a trade and what you actually get is a thumping case of depression and PTSD. I don’t believe in karma, but this looks a bit like it to me.
