I couldn't disagree more. The Service, is not a job, there is nobody (except newfies
) that pick the service as a job for the money. You can't just "phase out" the member like an old piece of kit. The money spent on training that soldier is reason enough to work with him/her to return to fit mental/physical state. Soldiers are invested in their job, they believe in it and enjoy it. Taking that away will only increase the downward spiral.
One of the problems is there is poor tracking of success rate for treatment. The US isn't great at tracking, and they could be seen as the front runners in PTSD creation.
The UK has some numbers
