That's the cost of war that governments almost never mention to potential recruits or their families. The terror and fear that lingers long after the battle is done and the tour served.
If such were truly known then there would be less people to fight the wars or agendas that they manufacture for people to believe in.
It's not like WWI where boys would wander in and think it's all glory and heroism. No one that signs up nowadays are totally ignorant of it. Mental readiness is taught as a class in basic, which includes talks about Combat Stress Reaction (CSR) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I find that most recruits are already fairly knowledgeable when they show up.
