There is an article in one of the recent newsweeklies, in fact, about the incredibley intense post-traumatic stress ex-military people are struggeling with. And these were people who went in "mentally well". Sorry- I saw the mag at a doctor's office and don't remember which one- but very recent.
basic training was hell. When I went into the Marine Corps in 1964, we lost one-third of our platoon in basic training, either to suicide attempts or for medical reasons. It is no place for someone who is on psychotropic medications and has significant emotional problems. For me, my problems came later.
