Personally I don't fully agree with what the article says, I know I have some things that stick with me from being in combat and doing what I needed to do but then again, I do agree with the point that one of the commenters makes about it being a "caveman thing" meaning that you know by doing what you did, that your enemy is no longer a threat to you, that you are then able to sleep better. <br /><br />Wondering what the RP community thinks.<br /><br />Study: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.american.edu/media/news/20140610-Killing-in-Combat-and-Alcohol-Abuse.cfm">http://www.american.edu/media/news/20140610-Killing-in-Combat-and-Alcohol-Abuse.cfm</a>Interesting study finds Soldiers Who Kill in Combat Less Likely to Abuse Alcohol.

There are so many difficult things that can happen to a person in combat and it is a fascinating study.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 16 at 2014 10:18 PM2014-06-16T22:18:47-04:002014-06-16T22:18:47-04:00LTC Paul Labrador156069<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think LTC David Grossman summed it up better in his books: Some people are just better able to deal with killing than others.Response by LTC Paul Labrador made Jun 16 at 2014 10:57 PM2014-06-16T22:57:46-04:002014-06-16T22:57:46-04:00SGT Steven Eugene Kuhn MBA449587<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There must be something to this, it is also a fact that more non combat soldiers claim disability and PTSD than do combat soldiers...I read a study over ODS era soldiers, not sure about OIF and such.Response by SGT Steven Eugene Kuhn MBA made Feb 2 at 2015 3:36 AM2015-02-02T03:36:50-05:002015-02-02T03:36:50-05:002014-06-12T11:35:55-04:00
