That’s an interesting point. I guess the mental trauma soldiers faced on the battlefield didn’t really gain attention before Vietnam, maybe because of the general agreement that their sacrifice was worth it no matter how terrible.
I would love to learn more about all of it. It seems PTSD was not really understood back then, with shell shock being the preferred diagnosis. But what about war zones before shelling? Were they so much less traumatizing? How was PTSD understood before the modern era, and why were we so unprepared for it following the advance of modern warfare?
What’s the point of that?
