I am talking WW1 & WW2 here coz none of our family served in Vietnam.....and have I seen letters, yes I have.....and they were pretty to the point and unfeeling IMHO.

But this is a bit OT anyway......coz some women would likely cope OK, just like some men do.

you are wrong

Some things you just don't talk about. How do you explain to your wife about seeing women and children die in front of you - and they look no different to your own wife and kids.............

Everyone deals with it their own way. There are services etc out there to help people (Critical Incident Stress etc) but forcing someone to talk will never work. They need to do it off of their own back.

Either way, it's getting away from the original topic of the thread. And personally it wouldn't matter if it was a bloke or a woman - they would both most likely have the same side effects to seeing/doing the same ****!

I've been looking for this document to show in this thread.

This lady worked in the ADF with me. She's been working 'front line' for a couple of years now and survived through one of the more intense conventional wars that have been seen recently....the 22 Day War in Gaza....
and she's still there; giving her all:

Attachment 18911

I have noticed in this thread that nothing has been said about incidents like Rwanda.
Some of what went on there made conventional war seem tame.

All very well and good. A bit like Pavlov's dog really. Stop firing rockets into Israel and perhaps you wont get the crap shot out of you in return.

Goes both ways mate. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Stop oppressing people, develop respect, and they might be able to re-discover the co-existence for which the place was known for.

You'd really think the memory of the holocaust would give the Israelis the appreciation of what people will resort to when they are forced from their land and held behind a wall.

No argument on either point ! Pomms and the UselessN have also got a fair bit to answer for here.

But from a tactical point of view, .........."don't take a knife to a gun fight", tossing dumb rockets into a country with precision munitions isn't the smartest thing to do. If you poke a stick into a bullants nest don't complain when you get bit.

Mate this goes way back, did you ever read about the Mufi of J. or things like how many Muslims actually fight for the IDF, its much more complicated. personally i have no idea how a solution could be formed or accepted by anyone.

I really feel for the people on clean up,. throwing dead babies into pits 4 at a time, has got to do something to a persons mental state,. I don’t care who you are or what sex you are, it has to have an effect..
God bless the people that put their hand up to help out in that place, God bless Medics everywhere
