Closest I’ve seen to this being done was the movie Black Hawk Down. Meanwhile can you imagine everyone screaming at each other in the John Wick films? Other movies like Aliens would have been a whole different level of horrifying as the sound fades away until its just the sound of the actor’s muffled heart beat and their cluelessness that the xenomorph is crawling up behind them.

    Reading through these comments, I’m starting to think the military might be bad for your health…

      Nah, do your 20 and be able to retire in your early 40’s. I mean sure your back is fucked, probably need a couple knee surgeries, weird things like the Pillsbury doughboy commercials may trigger you into a murderous rage, and there’s a possibility your anus is going to fall out at some point because of the anthrax vaccine… but all so worth it so that you get to retire in your 40’s!

          It’s well known that males, especially American, are to put it mildly not so great at managing their emotions. after a long period of extreme stress, one sign they are having problems is with something called “cute aggression”

          Been over 20 years since I got out but I remember mentioning it in passing to the woman I was dating at the time who was a licensed therapist. She was insistent that a noticeable amount of post service and recently deployed men (and some women) experienced this for a time.

          After a year or so it stopped happening without needing treatment which is why I am guessing it doesn’t get much if any attention. Personally I find it funny remembering having this shockingly visceral hate response to seeing the dough boy or that fucking fabric softener animated teddy bear.

            Considering that I’m far more likely to be in the vincinity of a veteran and a Pillsbury doughboy commercial, than having to have an anthrax vaccination? Yes, I absolutely find seemingly unprompted blood rage more concerning.

            That being said, I would also like to know about the detaching anus thing, but I reckon that I can find that by googling for it.

              Never happened to me but another sadder response are veterans that post deployment find themselves on the verge of tears when presented with totally benign normal locations like being in a grocery store. Only becomes a concern if this response continually happens or increases in severity.

              Remembering seeing this happen to other veterans and partially experiencing it with myself is making me a bit more conscious of the people with some level of PTSD that is debilitating and resistant to treatment.
