They feel out of place, as if they do not belong and they need to justify their acts. They try to form bonds together trying to build for themselves inner peace with that they did was right. An individual's world becomes an far more dangerous place everyday. Every sound, every sudden movement, every flash of light, every sudden word becomes a message of doom, like a bullet. When they are faced with events which trigger their danger response they got to their safe place trying to forget their past suffering. “Whenever i walk out the door and enter the crowded world, i can feel my heart race in rapid speed, and my vision will blur with my mind in its heels, and i will find it hard to breathe because what if all those people can see how i feel.

The concept is about understanding our troop’s reaction after returning from the war. Mainly external attributions have the most impact on our post-traumatic stress syndrome and any possibilities disorder occurred with them after returning from the war (Costello, 2014).

We live in a time where war, armed conflicts, hate crimes, foreign and domestic terrorism are on the rise. Historically there has been a population of individuals that served their country however, when they returned home they were under-served. Many combat veterans returned home only to face new challenges with adjusting to the dynamic environment around them. United States Armed Forces Veterans are confronted with evolved challenges such as; the advent of social media, and increase in news outlets which can keep a steady stream conflict flowing into the veterans home, impairing a veteran’s ability to reduce vigilance. When I separated from the military in July 5, 2007, after 9 years of service, despite my best efforts and all the experience I had acquired I was unemployed. Upon gaining employment, my income was been cut in half, my position of authority was removed, I was now disabled and dealing PTSD, I was having marital problems and struggling to adjust to civilian life. In essence I was struggling fulfill some of my basic needs discussed in Reality Theory. The encouragement and support I received from those with share experiences was monumental factor in my positive progression. Being connected to other veterans, either via family or friends that could empathize, encourage, and confront destructive thinking was a key factor throughout that process. Therefore, therapy in the form of small closed groups called fire teams in therapy can be beneficial in

The United States has many people living among one another all with a different kind of mentality. Varying from a weak to strong mind depending on life events and how they have managed to deal with them. For most the way they react to their surroundings can seem like an easy task but for others it can be the hardest and most difficult of tasks. To further explain this point, one can look into the many possibilities of how one’s surrounding and life events can interfere with their mind creating psychological problems. One of the most common to take into consideration is the mind of a soldier who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Ethics matter in any kind of business or organization, but they are especially significant when it comes to the US Army (Blackburn, 2001). The reason behind this involves the chain of command and the risk to life and limb that are such large parts of military life. When a soldier in the Army has no ethics, he or she can cause trust and respect problems with other members of his or her unit. The US military is a stressful organization for most people involved with it, and people's lives are on the line frequently. Issues like PTSD and other medical problems are commonplace for those who leave the military and must adjust to civilian life, so it is very important that those who are in the Army work with their colleagues and higher-ups to get the help and support they need during and after their service. There is more to ethics in the Army than the problems that military individuals can face, though.

Finley’s “From Soldier’s Heart to PTSD,” was about the evolution of how clinicians, physiatrists, and the military viewed what was happening to the men who went into war. At first, the symptoms that the soldiers were going through was referred to as “shell shock.” This lead to the debate whether the physical brain as opposed to the psychological mind could determine human behavior so “shell shock” became “war neurosis.” The increasing number of cases lead to the creating of the triage system which seem to help the soldiers. After many other war, physiatrists were still noticing the same symptoms even though the number of cases decreased. Advocates for the Vietnam war tried to make the government realized that these soldier where suffering due

Lastly, Ms. Davis is faced with a geographical and professional isolation dilemma. The reserve unit she is working for is located in Germany. The main hospital, including the mental health clinic, is required by regulation to provide services to active duty members and their dependents. Reservists and their families, by nature of their limited active duty status, only have access to the military hospital and their services when they are on orders. Geographical separation and limited services in overseas locations often create high levels of stress for reservists and their families if they are not otherwise adequately insured. Ms. Davis’ colleagues in the hospital are already working long days to meet the needs of the active duty population and their dependents, yet there are still countless members and families on the waiting list.
