It has everything to do with the face in the mirror, the realization in the dead silence of night that comes to a 19 year old that there are mothers, wives and children that will forever have their lives changed by one action.

PTSD doesn't just come from things done to a person, it also comes from things a person has done as well.

Civilization subjectively rationalizes reasons and circumstances that make killing and stealing okay to do... doesn't make it so.
