We need that, and we need to try and replace soldiers with drones and other forms of remote combat as much as we can. If we replace then with drones(automated, remote controlled, or both) that would mean less soldiers in combat, therefore less casualties and PTSD.
Wow.
That’s so tone deaf that I’m amazed.
Think a moment what reduction on casualties and PTSD cases that measure would result on every other nation that isn’t the US.

First, the US already selects for psychopaths and sociopaths through the usage of “private defense contractors”.
Second, that always was an awful practice. It ends up with civilians and innocents being massacred. Unstable people have no place in any armed forces. It’s the kind of thing that end in war crimes courts.
Finally, the US must scale down the use of it’s war machine (already larger that the five next armed forces combined) and invest heavily in mental treatment of its veteran and civilian population.
1% of the current military budget invested in mental health programs for veterans could improve overall quality of life for veteran and civilians alike.
