I have too dispute on this, There was a thing called "Shell Shock" which many suffered from, that they were not treated very well for it was just a way of the time.
Ever since man has fought wars there have been these problems.
Lots of times it was treated as cowardice etc.
Today we are a more considerate society and treat these people who after all put their lives on the line to serve their country.
I used to see the guy who suffered Shell Shock when I was a kid in England after the war, they were mocked by us kids, who Knew no better
I feel for servicemen who have PTSD, it cannot be good for them or their families.
I am an ex soldier and can understand what they went through, even though I didn't have a very bad active service time.
War is Hell and should not be taken lightly,like some politicians seem take it.
Cheers
