But we are being really off-topic here. Not off-topic at all, the ptsd of troops was a scene in the episode and we are talking exactly about the reasons for this. :)

Your point is definitely valid, but it's really not alternate history. If you're looking throughout history, there were always wars and violence. The reasons were different, but the hatred stayed the same. My point is it's great too hope for the best, but no matter how much people will preach for world peace, the reality will sadly prevail. It's just naive to think otherwise.

Of course preaching for peace would not do it. Serious action is needed such as investing resources in problematic areas of the world instead of milking those places by powerful countries and companies, taking stricter measures against violence in society, and not glorifying war. And while it is true that the soldiers protect us, we, as a society, must not treat them as a human shield, as I feel people often do. A society can also protect its soldiers.
