That, or you are just an out of touch curmudgeon displaying a complete and studied absence of understanding of the modern operating environment.
How very astute of you.

Just because the MoD didn't understand something 30 years ago does not mean it should not and does not understand something a little better today. Many of the Stiff Upper Lippers on here probably served when smoking, lead paint and asbestos didn't kill you.
Oh. But they did. We just didn't know any better at the time.

Some keep certain things, such as recurring nightmares and flashbacks, to themselves though - probably some generational thing when the 'stiff upper lip' was supposed to be the universal solution, or when people simply kept themselves to themselves as best they could.
Bottling it up and not talking about it is somehow better?
