What research and studies exist, suggest that is incorrect, at least in regards to MH casualties. The reason for this is that, while a history of pre-existing mental health issues make PTSD more likely, the majority of soldiers diagnosed with PTSD have had NOsignificant MH history. There is also a large body of deployed soldiers w/ MH histories that have had no Combat related MH troubles. I appreciate your participation in the subject Ken, but on this matter I am closer to being a SME. Prevention of disciplinary failures in basic and early in enlistments may be more achievable through pre-screening however.
