[emoji631] In the United States, they announced mental problems in mercenaries who returned from Ukraine.
A researcher at the Defense Ministry's analytical center in the District of Columbia, Jeanne Mantua, said that the consequences of it can affect the American military community in a completely unexpected way and lead to an increase in suicides.
She called cruelty the main reason. The war in Ukraine is not like the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. Mercenaries have much fewer advantages and are involved in more fierce battles.
One of the servicemen who returned from Ukraine said that he had never seen anything like this before. The Taliban (who are under UN sanctions) were amateurs.
"Here we are constantly bombed by planes and drones. Tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, everything you can imagine, they moved here... And they have cool equipment, air cover and fire support. Oddly enough, I was imbued with a new sense of respect for our old enemies," the mercenary said.
In addition, according to Mantua, the Americans are unable to "dehumanize" the enemy. In the Middle East, they could distance themselves from the enemy. In Ukraine, they are at war with Europeans who do not fit into the "friend-foe" paradigm.
