Question for @Antipapirus
I read a news story (something i wish i'd never read) about how Afghan warlords r*pe young boys and US military personnel aren't allowed to intervene despite the heart breaking screams lingering on the night air. The person in the story did something about it and was immediately discharged and his friend committed suicide because he couldn't live with the guilt.
So, military service is mandatory in Israel. What are the rates of PTSD among IDF because i've never heard of anything about it, which is strange. Maybe iam just unlucky. One hears more about it in regard to defence forces of various countries but not Israel, which is pretty much always at war. The chances of someone in his/her odyssey years (19-29)
killing someone else are pretty much low but that can't be the case in Israel seeing as one will more than likely be on some tour. How does a 20yr old cope after killing some 10 people? You can't just be okay after that. I hope you didn't kill anyone because i don't want to hear it. I just want to know why there is little to no chatter about ex-IDF plagued with PTSD and rampant drug abuse. Is it the best way to mk generations?
