#2: Initial revision
You can talk to real-life veterans and see how they coped with war. One tactic is "gallows humor" or "black humor," which is seeing the humor even in grim moments (common to veterans, law enforcement officers, doctors, and first responders). The TV show _MASH_ was essentially built on this. There are many examples on the [TV Tropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GallowsHumor) page (consider yourself duly warned).
