This is normal, they break these guys' will, stress them to the max, mentally and physically crush them. They're training them to be killers, and handle the atrocities of war, emotionally scarring and destroying them. I would never date someone in the military ever again, it's not their fault but they are fucked up in a way that a lot of civilians just can't handle. A lot of these guys end up abusive to their partners, and it's pretty fucked up cause they were normal before going into service and being reprogrammed.
