I'm gonna say that fighting a war does things to a person's brain. And maybe there's some personality patterns that predispose people to enlist. Then there's the conditioning that allows someone to kill another human with no remorse...
Most of which doesn't apply to your regular hooligans, so I have no idea...
There was a lot of PTSD in this group, I've know them since so 20+ years. Lots of self medication, a few self deletes, they open up every so often but it rare. The Scot guard and the Royal Marines seem have the worst of it. I don't think there was any Royal Navy in this group, or if they were they didn't talk about it.
Which makes sense considering the Exocet's and the A-4's really made a mess of their ships.
