The thousand yard stare- an Italian soldier, his photo taken after three consecutive days

I stay awake professionally, on-call shift work 24 hours a day. Shifts range from 10-18 hours; after spending all day with my family and then working a 20 hour shift all night and into the afternoon this is the same look I see in the mirror

You shoot people dead for a living before getting home to a hot meal and to your children and wife or... has it crossed your mind that maybe he can’t even sleep for what he has seen or done? Please don’t insult our country’s soldiers

He didnt insult hack shit... He just said that that stare is mostly caused by sleep deprivation... Then he gave an example that resulted (according to him) in the same stare, but without the combat factor; which would then lead to sleep deprivation being the main factor behind this stare.
If you think saying a soldier who fought for 3 days in a row is sleep deprived is insulting idk what to tell u...

That I’m right, for a start

That's the look of a guy who has seen some shit and has PTSD. When I went to EMT school and pulled 24 shifts in the hospital, I didn't look like this. I could barely keep my eyes open....

Thanks
