And that is what this highlights for me.
Sounds like almost three decades later, something that happened when I'll assume you were younger in your life in the late 70s, early 80s when you were serving.
something happens, it bothers you for a bit, and it's so easy to just think that you've put it down and moved past it.
And for some people, that is exactly what happens because we all process stress and trauma differently.
I don't think there is a textbook recipe for like, if this happens, expect this amount of time.

I know people who have all been exposed to the same traumatic event overseas.
