Does anyone believe that combat exposure can alter a person's way of thinking in how they view things in everyday life whether good or bad ?

From my experience it completely altered my way of thinking so much that when I took the MMPI-2, the results said I responded to some questions that are not endorse by the general public. I view things in life completely different from the average person. So I just want to know what you guys think.

I believe that it is altered. I know that my thought process has changed significantly.

I'm reminded by a line from that movie act of valor when that guy Chief Dave says "your loved ones will never understand, you just hope that they will accept it".

Of course it does, just like the terrible things our LEOs feel during their career. Fortunately, a very small number will see front line combat, despite all those that claim PTSD and VA disability. I can't imagine seeing what they encounter on the field of battle.

During my deployment, I was a fobbit so never under direct fire but did experience those IDF alarms. Every stressful experience can change a person's way of thinking or perceiving. I know that compared to years ago when I was taking classes and now, if I fail, I'm still good. I still volunteer with my fraternity so I see a lot of those college kids stressing out about exams. There's life and death stress, and then there's everything else. I share this meme for a chuckle.

There is nothing wrong with being a fobbit lol, they come under attack too all depending on location. But yeah kids these days stress over nothing. Funny meme though lol......
