I'm not from a military family . Some relatives were in ww2 but I didn't know them well. Husband was in the National Guard but never to a war zone. So I have no direct knowledge of battles.
Got me thinking about PTSD and head injuries which only recently have been acknowledged and dealt with properly. It will be a while before some people with these injuries allow themselves to be treated properly. Very sad for all. I think about all that is going on now and how the wars will impact people's behavior in the future.
I have no idea if this all makes sense bit I'm old and I don't care.
