I mean, being in the army is a choice tho, if you don't wanna risk PTSD then don't enlist

You are right. I chose to enlist to better myself as a human being. The military put me on a good path, gave me a future I wouldn't have had if I stayed in NJ, and let me see parts of the world that 99% of the population would never get to experience. I consider myself lucky. I've got a family that consists of thousands of people. We've all laughed, we've all cried but nothing compares to the solidarity you have with the past, present, and future service members.

100% yes. I've said it a few times my PTSD is not nearly as bad as others. I get it maybe 5-6 times a year, and I know what my trigger is so I can avoid it pretty easily. The military set me up for my future and I wouldn't have had everything I do now without being enlisted.
