The Army(military) will make you a warrior. But before they can make you, first they must BREAK you. Some people don't handle this well.
Imagine Gettysburg, being one of say 60,000 people facing each other across a field. Getting ready to charge each other.
Or on a landing craft, heading for the beach that's being literally whipped to a froth of sand by the bullets hitting it.
Or waking up in a tent with 11 other people to find 6 have had their throats cut in the night.
Moments of sheer terror, preceded and followed by plenty of time to think of nothing else.
War is unhealthy for humans and other living things.
