If we compare ourselves to the US we will always be "vastly under funded and under equipped".
It's like our neighbour owns the toy company and we want what his kids have.
If we want what they have we will have to pay, but we could make it up out of sticks for all the good it would do us because the country they live in is owned by the toy store except they don't like to think so.
Our parents would go broke trying to buy what they have for what are generally over funded goofy wars, paid for by a nation of debt slaves. We are debt slaves also but we should mostly take it personal.
We are supposed to love our enemies but our soldiers don't get saint training, that is for sure.
As for PTSD originating in childhood trauma, I would say it is hardly a recognizable disease with an established cause if we say it is a psychological malfunction built in to us since childhood.
It all comes down to the dollars and cents we spend on toys or rehabilitation?
That is what got us there to start with, thinking toys and money are the answer.
But that is what the marketing of War will constantly tell us. If we don't have that F35 we can't compete, and some are PTSD cases because of their childhood? Can we "save" money?
Rehabilitation has a lot to do with neuron plasticity. A lot of it is being humble and recognizing or perhaps eventually overcoming new limitations. Neurosis or even psychosis may even fall to new ideas of neuroplasticity, which after all may only be a function of faith.

Should we play Cowboys, Indians and PTSD when we grow up?
Nobody probably has more PTSD than Taliban, Al Qaeda and Gadhafi soldiers.
Childhood may have more to do with it than I think.
