What do you think? Every country has this problem if and when a war ‘persists’.

Russian Soldiers Confront PTSD, Alcoholism and Suicidal Thoughts After Fighting in Ukraine

The battle Russia has not yet fought: The mental health of its war veterans

And, not to forget, there are also victims:

Ukraine: Mental Health Crisis Intensifies for Children

There are -unfortunately- many reports on that across literally all wars.

Good.

War only has losers. No winners

Almost like committing war crimes feels unethical. Obviously seen in Iraq, Viet Nam etc. I think it’s ok to feel bad for everyone

Yes, shooting civilians has that effect. I read something similar in the 3rd Reich general memoirs.

“Shooting and crying” (Hebrew: יורים ובוכים, romanized: yorim ve bochim) is an expression used to describe books, films or other forms of media that portray soldiers expressing remorse for actions they undertook during their service. It has often been associated with a practice that some former Israel Defense Force soldiers follow.

Gil Hochberg described “shooting and crying” as a soldier being “sorry for things I had to do.” This “non-apologetic apology” was the self-critique model advanced in Israel in many politically reflective works of literature and cinema as “a way of maintaining the nation’s self-image as youthful and innocent. Along with its sense of vocation against the reality of war, growing military violence, occupation, invasion, [there was] […] an overall sense that things were going wrong.”

Good. Let’s hope they all do it.

I guess that, sometimes, the trash takes itself out…

I believe the article is true. However, I would like to know what the rates are among Palestinians.

I expect there’s a bigger rate increase and numerically far more broken people among them. And most likely, they aren’t getting assistance.
