Unfortunately, there were psychological injuries during World War I, trauma as a result of artillery fire. They were given electric shock treatments to the brain in an attempt to get them back on track. They were so painful they said they were cured.
I think a number of veterans, those who fought in World War II and the Korean War, still today feel psychological injuries that they suffered at that time.
In fact, when I see veterans lay wreaths on November 11, a grandfather 84, 86 or 87 years old crying and trembling like a leaf, not because it's cold, but because he feels a lot of emotion, I say to myself that there's something there that they have yet gotten over. How many World War II and Korean War veterans have unfortunately had Beefeater gin as their only medication, which they start drinking very early in the morning and stop very late in the evening and who start to cry when you talk to them about the Armed Forces? When I see these people in the field and I think that we can't help them as human beings, that distresses me.
I'd like to know the humanitarian side of your views on psychological injuries past and future.
