Do also remember Rachel, that "heros" can also be abusers. For example, my brother-in-law was career military, served on several peacekeeping missions, and ended up with PTSD as a result. However, unfortunately he never received the help he needed. Instead he murdered his wife and child and committed suicide. He also shot and almost killed my stepdaughter. She now has PTSD herself from his actions. Whilst the careers of military and emergency responders are very worthy, they should not be placed upon pedestals. They are still people like everyone else, still human and apt to make horrible choices.
