Eh, military has a lot of jobs outside of combat situations, so idk if "most" ex-military are negatively impacted although I imagine anyone who's seen combat is.

I doubt most are negatively impacted overall. Though those who are, are often extremely negatively impacted (PTSD, serious permanent injury, death).

Preach.
