I would certainly want to volunteer... I’m a great shot . I’m sure my PTSD would raise a few red flags ... but in a kill or be killed situation ... I would kill .

@TexChik I'm glad you raised this about PTSD and [quote]but in a kill or be killed situation ... I would kill[/quote]. Few people won't have PTSD, I'm sure I've had it and speculatively would suggest as many as 90% of people would have it if they got into the wrong situation.

@GeniUs I’m not sure people understand what that is . It’s a bit more than having the shit scared out of you or seeing something appalling . Since mine was caused by repeated beatings , abuse, and injury up to the age of 11 , culminating in rape ... uncontrollable rage is the Bi product . Which in this scenario would be perfect . I’m sure in battle the devastation to human life , namely family and friends , is always horrible and would affect everyone. My adoptive father was a Marine . He was a huge help with teaching me to cope with ptsd .., but he was also good at explaining just what battle was. Enough to know those who have that experience deserve their fair share of honor and respect from the rest of us .
