I worked enough years in hospitals and saw adults and children die every damn day. I don't need someone else to tell me about death. And, no .... I doubt that men in combat "come to terms" with it, or so many of them wouldn't be using drugs and alcohol to escape from it.

Learning to numb yourself to what is going on around you so you can survive, is not coming to terms.
