What does a navy do? In peace time they round up boat people in war they blow up the other side's ships and sink them. Some navies have air craft carriers so they also provide air support and so on.
There is a key item in the list, blowing up ships. As a navy member this must be a given so why would you join the navy if seeing such a thing is going to upset you and put you out of action. Worse would you want sailors like that in your navy? Why isn't our navy filtering out such individuals
Australia does. They have at least two of them, out on permanent leave for seeing a fishing boat go up in flames. Not even from any action by the navy, the crew or the passengers did it.
Now ask yourself would you want such individuals fighting for you in defense of your country?
There are more and more cases of people allowed to abdicate from what their chosen roles are. Excuses are given and actively supported by many areas ranging from stress to anything else thought of as a convenient label at the time.
Perhaps we need some real world versions of Chopper (Ronny Johns) in our defense forces?
