Exoparadapsyphobia

Yes, they are "trained" for it, but you can't train someone to take one of their friends dying lightly. It's impossible to train someone to handle death. That's like saying "Ok, your mom is going to die in six months from cancer, so we're going to train you to take it like a man". Soldiers are trained to inflict casualties, however they are not trained to take them. The human mind can only handle so much stress and emotion before it finally snaps, like shaking a wine bottle. Can you train a wine bottle not to explode when you shake it? No. The same goes for people. And what is losing this war is not the freelance attitude towards killing you are discribing, and it is not what I am supporting nor suggesting either. I am saying the soldiers should have a reduced punishment under the extreme circumstances they were in. What is losing the war is the abismal treatment of our soldiers by the higher ups. They risk their very lives for this country, and then they get treated like shit when they make a slip-up, that's why so many people are disgusted with America, becuase we fail to show any appreciation for the sacrifice our troops have made and what they are going through. One thing people need to get about war and pull their heads out of their ass's is that war is far from perfect and that innocent people will always be cought in the "crossfire".
