I think the military culture is a very demanding one. I don't think it is worse. It's not an issue of degree, whether it is worse or better. It's very demanding and it's unique. The whole transition, I believe, from the military mindset and the military way of doing things to the rest of society and how society operates, and how they reintegrate into the other ways of functioning is a big change for a healthy person. Therefore, for a person injured in the mind, who is literally ejected and rejected from the system, I believe it is very damaging. I think the system has improved that process; however, there are many people who go through that process who should not go through that process. They should be retained in the military. They could continue to serve. That's the sad thing.
