Smith was a young man when he first deployed to Afghanistan. He was full of idealism and patriotism, and he believed that he was fighting for a just cause. However, the realities of war quickly set in. Smith saw firsthand the horrors of combat, and he experienced the loss of friends and fellow soldiers. The war took a heavy toll on Smith's mental health. He developed post-traumatic stress disFree Download (PTSD),and he struggled with depression and anxiety.
