Yes, many things could be done about that. Once again, I suggest that you invite colleagues who are in the armed forces.
As someone from the outside, I can say that it would also be useful to invite soldiers who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or soldiers when they return from missions. Their testimony could effectively help other members of the forces, they could give feedback regarding their experience, and they could describe their current condition. These are the kinds of activities that could bring about greater awareness.
Post-traumatic stress disorder was only discovered recently. For that reason, I had to write two books. Post-traumatic stress needed to be recognized and more clearly identified. The École polytechnique de Montréal, Dawson College, our forces that are currently much less involved in peacekeeping than in offensive military action, have all contributed to recognizing the existence of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Nevertheless, we are dealing with a very tough culture, one that is very severe, a culture that stresses strength and endurance and that denigrates emotion. If we recognize the negative impact on the health of soldiers, if we view post-traumatic stress disorder as something that can be cured or treated and not as a sign of weakness, it will be very helpful.
