Yes we do. Gore and mutilation are part of life. It should be shown on public television and kid's shows so maybe we can finally understand the consequences of senseless warfare in future generations.
Checks notes..
mumbles something
Ah yes so kids have previously been exposed to, in the normal course of life:
So those were the most peaceful eras of humanity then, by your logic, yeah?
PTSD is a real thing. Trauma is a real thing. Yes, we are much too desensitised to war. Yes, we should absolutely be outraged and we need to recognise that warfare is terrible. That doesn't mean that access to traumatisation should be easy. Look at suicide rates of veterans, for example. Trauma is a real thing, and there's a reason there is so much research dedicated to protecting journalists etc. who have to look at this stuff so they can tell us the truth.
I bet this is referring to the US veterans as I doubt there are other countries with such statistic and I wanted to say that IDGAFF. They chose to go fight in the other side of earth thinking they are doing good. Going back and realizing how wrong they were and that in fact they were killing people inside their homes and who never were an actual threat. The reason of the suicides is this tragic realization.
lol there are studies on it done for Russia, Ukraine, UK, Dutch UN troops who intervened in Srebrenica...
Ukraine has been defending itself. Dutchbat we're trying and failing to maintain peace and instead watched as a massacre happened.
Yes, the US has more statistics, as it often does for psychology because many people don't treat it seriously. That doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
The people downvoting you better be as consistent when it comes to Australias tobacco packaging.
Sounds good to me, I don't know why you are getting downvoted friend
Because they don't know what they're talking about. Although neither do I tbf
I know, right? Thanks for the support.
