Veterans from Ukraine will be devastated. The example of Afghanistan
The destruction of war will not end with peace, but will continue afterwards. What will remain of the psyche of so many soldiers, on both sides, who have seen, and taken sides, in the atrocities of this war?
To make you understand the psychological weight of the experience of modern war on men, I am providing you with some data on what happened to American veterans after the experience of Afghanistan. Let's consider that we are talking about volunteer soldiers and often with years of training, not soldiers of Naja.
As reported by Pacelink , the American soldiers who committed suicide were 30,177, those who died in combat 2,312. We are talking about 13 times the number of deaths in combat. PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is more deadly than bullets. The figure concerns the dead, but about 40,000 veterans live on the streets not because of poverty, but because of the difficulties of reintegration.
A drama that few know. Let's imagine what will happen to many veterans, often simple conscripts, when they return home after the war in Ukraine, after having seen things that we do not even imagine in the worst nightmares.
