EP:2 The Unseen Battle Scars of the Mind

Psychiatric Casualties

War wounds are not always visible, and the battle scars of the mind can be as debilitating as any physical injury. Mark and Charles open up a long-overdue discussion on the unseen struggles of military mental health, tracing the historical neglect and systemic shortcomings in armed forces' approaches. The conversation is both a history lesson and a current affairs class, as we uncover declassified documents and share from-the-front anecdotes that reveal the stark contrast between lessons learned from physical warfare and the often-ignored psychological aftereffects. Mark and Charles shed light on the depth of these issues, from the repeated cycle of learning and forgetting to the pervasive stigma that keeps our service members from seeking the help they so desperately need.
This conversation is not just about the failures of the past but also about the potential for reform—ensuring that every soldier's sacrifice is honored, not just in medals and commendations, but in the care they receive for all their wounds, seen and unseen.
