I can understand how something like that would stay with you π’ And thank you for commenting on that. It's hard to explain to people sometimes how I process movies and shows like this, and that it's possible to have both experiences at the same time. I think it's just something that comes with more knowledge in certain fields--the more you know, the more you notice, etc. Sounds like you've experienced and learned quite a bit in your life! Thank you for sharing terms like combat fatigue and soldiers heart--I hadn't heard those before.

2024-02-14 15:47:07 +0000 UTCThanks for concentrating on the psychological impact. People knew what PTSD was in the Civil War, although, as you said, they didn't understand the psychology of it. In World War II they called it combat fatigue; in World War I it was shell shock; in the Civil War it was called soldier's heart. Interesting that you focused on the sort of mental split screen effect of watching the technical aspects on one mental channel and absorbing the emotional impact on the other. I had a similar experience early in my second career - after I retired from the Marine Corps I went into the mental health field (I had gone to grad school nights and weekends my last several years in the service.) I worked in the state prison system in that capacity, and at one point was on the faculty of the Corrections Academy, doing psych screenings on prospective corrections officers and teaching classes on suicide prevention, stress management, and similar subjects. One of the other instructors who had a mean streak told me she had a video she was thinking of using in a class and asked me to watch it and tell her what I thought. It turned out to be a crime scene walk-through the police had shot at a drug house where everyone in the place had been murdered. So I was seeing all these people dead, including the children of the occupants, and this person was watching me closely with a gleam in her eye. Part of my brain was just crying, "Oh no, oh no . . . ", and the other part was thinking, "Okay, that was a shotgun from a few feet away . . . handgun there . . . shotgun again . . . rifle from across the room, caught him running . . . " It was surreal. I kept a poker face and just told her I wouldn't use it, and went back to my office and closed the door. But it's stayed with me, and that was more than twenty years ago.

2024-02-06 19:24:33 +0000 UTCYou'd seen a few close ups of Speirs before. The prisoners first then later attacking the guns at brecourt( probably spelt wrong), his most memorable scene yo till now when he talked to Blythe in episode 3, the only hope you is accept your already dead scene. He definitely exemplifies that mentality, do what you have to, what ever happens happens.
