People forget that we did not have this situation to the same extent during WW2. Had some but for the most part it was very low.

At this time the vast majority of all combat soldiers went to and from the theater in a ship. Took 2-3 weeks to return home. They did so with their buddies and could hash out what happened and "decompress" along the way.

Now we put them in a small aluminum tube and fly them to and from in a matter of hours then dump them back home where they are supposed to fit in immediately.

Anyone see a large difference in the way this is being handled and possible outcome? Combat to apple pie in the blink of an eye...
