“…As Weinstein (1947) put it, "The main characteristic of the soldie, with a combat induced neurosis is that he has become a frightened, lonely, helpless person whose interpersonal relationships have been disrupted." Steiner and Neuman (1978) provide a particularly elegant corroboration of this view with data from the 1973 Yom Kippur War comparing Israeli stress casualties with paratroop controls. Slide 2 shows the percentages of each group reporting various kinds of combat experiences.…”

“…A number of studies have shown that high morale and cohesiveness among unit members are connected to lower rates of CSRs, whereas low morale and cohesiveness are connected to higher rates of CSRs (Steiner & Neumann, 1978).…”

The authors examined the association between (a) personal world assumptions and (b) combat stress reactions (CSRs), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and PTSD's course among three groups of Israeli veterans: 109 veterans who suffered from CSR on the battlefield, 98 decorated veterans, and 189 control participants. Participants completed standardized questionnaires that measured PTSD and world assumption. Both CSR and chronic PTSD were associated with lower levels of self-worth and beliefs about the benevolence of people. In addition, the authors found a linear association between self-worth perceptions and levels of mental status. The authors examined the results of the study considering the extraordinary characteristics and meaning of war.

“…This problem has been translated into concepts such as 'stress', 'battle stressors', 'combat stress reaction', 'trauma', and 'post-trauma' (Noy, Nardi, and Solomon 1986;Solomon 1993;Solomon, Noy, and Bar-On 1986;Steiner and Neumann 1978). It has also resulted in professional military practices, such as front-line treatment methods (Solomon, Shklar, and Mikulinser 2005), that aim to reconcile and rehabilitate individuals' psychological condition, as well as internal organizational structures, such as the Department of Mental Health of the IDF Medical Corps, and an extensive array of military psychologists stationed at the brigade level.…”

This article discusses the links between military knowledge production and the cultural representations of war based on the Israeli experience during the past two decades. It argues that the locus of military knowledge production has moved from what can be described as 'forging knowledge' to 'deciphering knowledge'. This transition is linked to a crisis in the classic representation of war, which is based on the congruence between three binary signifiers: enemy, arena, and violence. The article asserts that the blurring of these three signifiers has created a Bourdieuian field of military knowledge production in which symbolic capital is obtained from the production of knowledge that deciphers the new uncertainty. The article follows the relations between the binaries and the types of knowledge that have been imported and translated in the IDF with regard to four major operational settings: the Oslo redeployment, the Second Intifada, the disengagement from Gaza, and the aftermath of the Second Lebanon War.
