Yes, but the culture has changed considerably.
If we had more time, I could tell you some stories. I encourage the committee to watch a video. I can give you its title later. A 30-minute video was made about the military culture and operational stress injuries. The video shows uniformed soldiers talking a lot. I think the video depicts an everyday reality. Military members are hiding that reality much less than they used to.
The video also shows an infantry sergeant in Afghanistan, and his story is amazing. He was not given a script to read. He simply talked about what happened in Afghanistan. He talked about the experience very openly. Soldiers had told him they were becoming worried because he was starting to make bad decisions. That was after a fight with the Taliban. The culture has to have changed for soldiers and corporals to say to a commanding section sergeant that they were worried because he was starting to make some strange decisions. That would not have happened when I was younger.
