I had an interesting conversation with this week and the topic was "did being in the military help develop way to cope with this current situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic". Thinking about it, it might have. For those of that found ourselves in a combat zone, we were forced to go weeks/months with minimal resources. I can remember being told we only had one bottle of water per Soldier per day in the early days of the assault into Iraq. So I was just wondering what the RP community thinks.

Good question. In one sense I feel like we're better prepared if only because we understand how to sit around and do nothing for long periods of time.

Having friends die in combat was much harder than what we are going through now. We endured then, and we will endure now. Military service did help prepare us to adapt and overcome all challenges.
