He ( WW Two Vet ) says the men are just weak and they ( Soldiers of today ) should just take it like a man. The name "PTSD" is made up by fancy college graduates so they can look important. He states many so called PTSD are Girly men who can’t take stress.
Trolling as usual huh Erudite!! And talking nothing but gibberish as always too.
P.T.S.D. WAS recognised in WW2 for your information. At the time it was simply referred to under different terms. Such as:
"Shell Shock", or "Battle Fatigue".
The U.S. Army (as well as the British Army who carried out their own studies), did a major study into the subject in the Pacific theatre of WW2; Sending psychiatrists and psychologists into theatre to consult and report on the actions and state of mind of troops of whom were immediately returning from vicious front line fighting, and/or prolonged periods spent under fire.
The insight of these psychiatrists and psychologists, with later medical and psychological breakthroughs, enabled a "label or medical diagnosis" to be applied to the condition.
Famously in WW2, Patton slapped a soldier suffering from what would be recognised today as P.T.S.D.
Men suffered from it just as much in WW2 as they do to this day. In WW2 it simply wasn’t recognised for what it was until studies into the condition were completed.

I agree partially, but it also depends on what they where exposed to
if you had your best friends guts spilled all over you, you’d probably be at least a little scared, or if you were taken as a prisoner.
but, usually it’s just people who can’t handle it.
