Non-veterans can answer also, but be nice. This is going to sound mean, but hear me out please.
It seems that many veterans of recent wars Vietnam, Korea and later, have psychological problems after war. Gulf-war syndrome, PTS etc, are common. Why is it the wars before that such as WW2 and WW1, the veterans don't seem to have this problem? Do they just not talk about it? Did the psychiatric field advance that much? Most seem proud to have killed Nazi's and the like. I know in more recent wars, many of the fighting was against civilians also, does this cause the mental trauma?
Thoughts and opinions if this made sense, and be nice please.
