Socio psychological traumas locus of control and resilience among military personnel

India has a military system as old as its civilization whose evidence can be traced from Vedic and Epics literature. Today people in general and various Nations in particular are facing various issues related to security thereby "War on Terror" every time grinds them. The real source of insecurity encompasses unsustainable development. Increasing population and decreasing resources have also surmounted pressure on their livelihood. Beside this terrorism, communalism, corruption, nepotism and various others issues have erupted violence that enmeshes thousands of people in distress every year. Further, the unemployment, natural calamity or environmental disaster (Nathan, 2011) are competing political, economic, social, and environmental interests behind such problems. Military service is highly stressful, full of psychological challenges and difficulties understandably arise frequently. These issues are created or exacerbated by a wide range of features such as separation from family, frequent relocations and, deployment to combat zones with ongoing threats of injury and death and exposure to acts of unspeakable violence. The stress of repeated tours of duty, including witnessing the loss of lives of comrades and civilians, produce extensive emotional and behavioral consequences. Serving in today's military often includes dangerous duties (Hoge, Castro, Messer, McGurk, Cotting & Koffman, 2005; Tanielian, Jaycox, Schell, Marshall, Burnam & Eibner, 2008). It may be lengthy period of separation, frequent geographic relocation and the possibility of death of military member (Cozza, Chun & Pollo, 2005). It affects their lifestyle and functioning for e.g. veterans with resilient personalities reported less sleep disturbances, more health promoting behaviors, psychological flexibility and emotional distress, tolerance than veterans with under controlled and over controlled prototypes and also revealed that resilience significantly predicted post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, quality of life and social support over time (Elliot, Hsio, Kimbrel, Meyer, Debeer, Gulliver, Kwok & Morisst, 2017). Thus, the military personnel faces diverse kinds of stressors those are associated with the culture of military as well as agony of combat experienced in the midst of an active war zone. There are around 2.8 million veterans living in the UK (The Royal British Legion, 2014) of which a significant minority experienced mental health difficulties (Iversen et al., 2011). Research suggested that treatment offered by these services is likely to benefit a significant number of veterans (Kitchiner, Roberts, Wilcox,
