Yes, I will answer that question.
The purpose of Cyprus is just to give soldiers a chance to let their emotions out while sparing their families. It's very intense there. The stories told are very particular.
I don't know whether you've ever seen thousands of soldiers coming back from the wars, but I'm told it's a very good thing their families are not there. Soldiers experience what they have to experience amongst one another, and share what they have to share. When they get back to their families, they have decompressed more.
