    Do we know that though? I’m genuinely just curious because it seems to me like it would be at least somewhat diminished.

      We know that. Trauma is an interesting thing. There are many ways to get traumatized. And all trauma can cause PTSD. So an Infantryman could see a dead body but never actually get into a fight and end up with PTSD. It can happen on the first body, or the 100th. Drone Operators are prone to something called moral injury. Basically they get a form a trauma from seeing the results of their work.
