Some years ago, many would hear the term "shell shock" and/or "battle fatigue" instead of PTSD in a military arena. PTSD as we know it today, became more noticeable and understandable after those who served in the Vietnam War were diagnosed with it. A large number of men and women serving in a war zone will likely be exposed to traumatic events that will leave them with lasting fear and suffering. As a result,returning military
personnel are unable to adapt to life after war. Imagine a traumatic events as such, an episode of murders to babies, women, and elderly in front of your eyes. Something to think about. It's cold-blooded and a hard pill to swallow. It might not be fair but it is definitely war.
