Society degrades from war. People that were in warfare shouldn't be allowed back into normal life. Even with a just war, like with Ukraine defending themselves from Russia, the soldiers coming back from the front are killing their wives. I don't think there's a solution. I've worked on projects in the USA trying to predict behavior changes in veterans that lead to murder/suicide and it's just not possible. Just try to avoid people that have been in warfare - don't hire them, don't date them, they're broken and can't be fixed.

At the very least they should be tested for heavy metals and for basic psychological sanity. Just being in physical contact with firearm and ammunition risks lead exposure. If abnormal, it should be addressed at once. I do think that war would be better off being done remotely via automated floating and aerial weapons platforms controlled remotely if not semi-autonomously. I mean without soldiers on the front line.

It takes a lot of callous and privilege to have this kind of opinion

This is a very interesting post - like, I think it's wrong, but the sentiment is fascinating.

And then war came, the enemy somehow managed to attack the area where you live - think that silly Red Dawn movie - and enemy troops are closing in on your area. What do you do? 1: Give up and let them take you and yours 2: Fight them in the knowledge that you'll be shunned by society which took your own advice to heart Nope, I suspect you'd board one of those army transports which have been sent to evacuate civilians to a safe area where they'll live until the military has successfully beaten the enemy combatants. Then you'll return to your house which seems to have survived unscathed, fire up your laptop and write another post on how it is best to avoid the people who just saved you and yours. Don't hire them, don't date them, they're broken and can't be fixed Happy 4th of July btw.

Well, this is a way to up the casualty count! What would you propose countries do with veterans? Kill them all, or maybe exile them to an island? I guess that turns getting drafted into a death sentence, which it could be anyway, but your approach pretty much guarantees it.
