It gives a better understanding of the Military other than warfare. This topic is interesting because you can find different ways of helping the victims live their daily lives. It lets others understand that you can give a helping hand to soldiers, even if you're not in a battlefield.

Why you chose this topic: I chose this specific topic because I enlisted in the Military. If I was ever diagnosed with PTSD, I would want someone by my side helping me. I always wanted to research PTSD among Military service members. I want to find out what the government is doing in order to help our soldiers.
