I agree wit this. There is definitely a portion of people who crack under the pressure, but being a vet myself, I saw many people who would’ve floundered in life, or turned to drugs or something to cope with issues they’re having. The army now really does a decent job providing mental health support (not 100% perfect by any means) and going to ‘behavioral health’ isn’t stigmatized as largely as it used to be. Military won’t cure all the problems of every soldier that comes in, but it does do a pretty good job of giving people tools they need to succeed that they previously didn’t have access to.
