The before and after war photos of soldier where they are physically 3-5 years older but look like they have lived through at least an extra decade really drives this home.
- swagmoose 3y agoI've noticed this with presidents as well, the before & after pictures of president Obama looked much longer than the 8 years that had passed between them.
- antisthenes 3y agoWar is a different beast entirely. Every year spent at war is a 3-5x of years as a civilian. Living in constant stress, fear and potentially malnutrition and disease takes a pretty big toll on you. 20-somethings begin to look like 35-40 year old men really quick.
- tstrimple 3y agoSure. I just think the same thing happens at smaller scales for folks with stressful lives who aren't living through a literal war.
