My opinion is, that emergency workers, police officers and soldiers should not be able sue anybody for PTSD caused by the necessities of doing their jobs. Surely, the best way to weed out those people who's personalities are not suitable for such work is to explain to recruits what the grim realities of their job are, before they are allowed to gain employment? Perhaps some work experience beforehand should be mandatory to allow potential recruits time to understand if they have what it takes to do a job where dealing with serious injuries and death, that can be commonplace, everyday events in these occupations.

The current recruiting posters for the Australian Defence Forces are an example of how not to do it.

Defence force posters typically show a beautiful young woman in cammies looking oh, so happy in her job as a soldier. This happy picture is reinforced by slogans such as "Be all you can be." Or, "I never stop learning in the Army." It is as if being an officially sanctioned killer is simply a logical career move for anyone seeking a job that offers personnel advancement. WW1 ANZACS had no such illusions of what they were. They called themselves "two bob a day murderers."

The reality is, soldiers kill people and they take casualties doing it. Psychologists have discovered that only around 12% of western men today can kill another human being without displaying self destructive levels of guilt. An since men are a lot more violent than women anyway, it is logical to assume that the proportion of women who can kill and maim, and not feel suicidally guilty, is a lot less.

Therefore, the job of recruiting for soldiers in a professional armed force should focus upon that crucial 12% of males who can do the job. Society needs them and they should be paid well. Not just recruit anybody, and when the 88% of men who can not do this job without breaking down with PTSD, allow ambulance chasing lawyers to sue the state.

The reality is, soldiers kill people and they take casualties doing it.
