What do you think is the most psychologically taxing part of being in the military? I think it's that you're taught to suppress yourself.

The most psychologically taxing part of being in the military for me is the constant fear of death or injury. I am constantly worried that I will not make it home to my family, and this fear weighs on me constantly.

The constant feeling of being on edge. I'm always aware of my surroundings and the potential for danger, which is mentally and emotionally exhausting.
