Many military personnel may experience significant combat reactions or trauma as a result of their combat experiences. Many times they feel alone and only those who have experienced combat understand their reactions. However, not all military personnel experience trauma as a result of their combat experiences or duty. As a helping professional, it is important to consider why some active duty military personnel and veterans experience trauma more than others. For this Discussion, review your resources.
