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

Well, this is getting seriously off topic at this point.. but... perhaps I did misspeak when I generalized it to all men in combat. At the same point however, that some men used alcohol and drugs does not mean that all did or do.
In any case, nobody here is trying to tell you about death. All I said is that there are people who have come to terms with death and I further believe that some of those people are not people whose death's are in the immediate future. That fact that you have never seen it, or at least recognized it, does not mean it doesn't exist.
