wrinting- military

Why can soldier kill? When I was thinking of military this question came up.i mistakenly believed almost all soldier can kill when they are in the dangerous situation where they may be killed.

 IN World War 2, only 15-20 percent soldier fired at the enemy.80 percent was willing to do the job except firing even if their situation got worth.US military researched to improve the situation.in WW2 people learned to fire at the paper target. Today more realistic target are used in more realistic environments. Killing a target becomes more automatic, more instinctive. They had training which made them kill despite their not to do.US military taught soldier the enemy is morally wrong and made them classify others as lesser beings. Thereby the number of soldier who can aim at the enemy has increased. However US military are facing another problem.

  After several months of combat nearly everyone will exhibit some symptoms of mental stress will appear. In US there are many soldier who suffer from PTSD.PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life-threatening events. There are many incidents where IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN veterans have been charged with killing. They often killed a loved ones. More surprisingly suicides in the US military surged to a record 349, far exceeding American combat death. Moreover though government does not know the correct number of veterans’ suicide it is said more than 6000 veterans commit a suicide every year. Things US military did to improve this situation may have something to do with the increase of PTSD. The number of soldier suffer from PTSD has increased enormously.

 I think US military should help those people.
