Yeah, it always seems so ironic when a veteran survives combat, then returns only to be killed in the home country by some nut.
I've hiked small sections in three states. Vermont was my favorite. Due to the isolation, the rarity of violent crime and the good nature of 99.99% of the hikers, it makes them easy pickins for killers. I hope it doesn't become a trend.
I recently watched a good movie called Leave No Trace (2018). It's about a veteran who suffers from PTSD living in the woods with his teenage daughter. Afterwards it occurred to me just how quiet and soothing it was. That's because most of the film takes place in forests where there's almost no non-natural noise. It's easy to see why veterans (and others) might find that peaceful setting therapeutic.
