That's so sad the military environment promotes hyper masculine behavior men in the military its like that everywhere. They teach you to kill your humanity and this often affects the emotional stability of these men I cannot comment on how it is in America but one problem we have in my country is that there is no career prospects for people who join the military often the ones in lower rank are paid poorly just enough to feed themselves and once they retire which is usually in their 40s it is extremely difficult for them get a good job in the civilian society these men are often traumatised by their experiences in the military and they vent their frustration on the women and children in family I've heard of several cases around me of military men caught up in cases of domestic abuse and stories of broken families but the victims never speak up if they do they are shut down by a society which feeds the egos of these men because of hyper nationalistic behaviorsThat's chilling how many people die from suicide in the military on a daily basis. I checked for America and it's 22 soldiers a day. There's an American movie called Full Metal Jacket. One of the recruits is having problems adjusting. He's resistant to training and his drill sergeant punishes the other soldiers for his mistakes. He's beaten one night, and starts to get in line. Unfortunately, he's had a nervous breakdown but no one notices except for one soldier, but he doesn't tell anyone else. Bullying, r*pe (both sexes), predators preying on the weak, and violence are a big problem. It's not just soldiers. Officers are doing the same things.
