The unwillingness, on all sides of political spectrum, to provide physical and psychological support to former military members in modern democracies is something that completely baffles me.

In Canada, at least, no-one wants to join the military because it's a shit job with shit pay, and what we end up with is a small contingent of volunteers who are either a) highly idealistic or b) excited to commit war crimes, and that is why the Canadian Airborne Regiment is no longer a thing.
