Welcome Lexie

From what I understand what Jim is saying is correct. I have watched Anthony do it in 'other' situations and I can't get my head around the detachment but it seems to work for them. It can be distressing being on the receiving end of such if you don't understand it. What the military teaches soldiers is vital for their safety but integrating that backwards and forwards into civilian life must be difficult. Anthony tends not to express a lot but he is getting better at it (he has PTSD from the military). I believe that is more a military thing than just a male thing .
