Since the civil war, the services have tried to screen out the vulnerable from combat, but it's hard to predict which men/women will suffer traumatic effects. Recent studies show that suicide rates among soldiers who went into battle are similar to those who did not enter combat...presenting an even more puzzling conundrum. Now, with neuroscience to consider, we might get to the bottom of why some are traumatized and others are not. Thanks for showing us your research and good luck with your book!Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-71520881974102524542015-05-25T14:03:57.292-04:002015-05-25T14:03:57.292-04:00Wow, very cool research!
