Be Completely Still




“You have to be completely still. A glowing cigarette stub, expanding its light far away, can bring death. A hedgehog, moving through the nightly forest, can threaten you to death. Your eyes and ears filter even the smallest piece of noise. It might happen that you shoot your comrade because you forgot he went to defecate. Your heart beats heavily and the brain cannot recall anything apart from the fear.” — Former soldier

Others have used the chances, which opened up through this profound social and economic change.
Others, who have not been to war and did not sacrifice their best years, therefore, feel pushed aside.
The diagnosis of PTSD is a big obstacle when they try to apply for a new job. The employers consider hiring someone with this condition to be too large a risk. Within society, ill veterans are regarded as unpredictable and aggressive — ticking time bombs.
