Potential U.S. Army enlistee here.

    “I saw a lot of friends die. It’s hard. I don’t like to remember things, ’cause you see too many things happen. That’s why they call it, what, post-trauma stress? "You wake up, you’re screaming, you’re fighting. You try to get help, and that doesn’t solve the problem, but it always comes back. So I always say, you gotta deal with it.”

What's the value in gaining strength, discipline, character and all the other shit they'll "offer" to prospective servicemen and women, if you can't even make it out in one piece to face the world in the first place. Speechless, kinda angry, curious what Hubski has to say about this. Thanks for the share.
