Many men were damaged both physically and mentally by the second war but one seldom hears of a world war 2 "syndrome". Post traumatic distress disorder has always existed from the beginning of time for those who's lives as soldiers involve any act of violence because that is the nature of their sordid and often dirty work in the name of what ever belief be it political or religious.
I mean no disrespect to any former combat soldier from any conflict, believe me in my short time I've seen and done things that are at best very questionable but being a soldier, sailor or airman brings with it inherent risks and when a conflict breaks out all kinds of weapons are used often to devastating effect and those weapons do not always hit the correct targets so there will always be long term consequences of warfare to all those involved. Until mankind finds a better or should I say civilised way of settling it's differences the inevitable suffering be it Gulf war "syndrome" or post traumatic distress disorder or as it was once reffered to, (eventually) in the Great War shellshock, this kind of thing will always be with us. We have close on ten thousands years or so of "civilisation" behind us and in those ten millenia we have become more adapt at killing each other much more efficiently to such an extent that the last century we have just left behind became the bloodiest in our history......let us all hope and pray that in this century we do not leave behind an even bloodier legacy.

true and sad like all wars there going to be some who never be the same again, body,mind, soul be no longer the same been that way for a long time now. don't think there ever be a safe war were one body,soul,mind not be hurt by war.
for thousand of years it been that way. don't think that will every end. doing studies on the people who were in a war zone is a cheap way to make money, its a joke to me totally grants to do a studies on people who was in a war zone area is a joke bottom line there going to be some who been hurt by it we already know that and there going to be no way to make it better or fix it, only way ban war totally! we know that will never happen. to many people like to make money off it.
