WHAT IT IS LIKE
When you suffer from what is now known as PTSD. Anyone who was been in combat will understand. PTSD is frightening for those of us who experience it.

Unfortunately this has gone on for many wars over many years. It is only recently that we are addressing it proactively. We take teenagers right out of high school, give them rifles, and teach them how to kill. We then send them to the worst places in the world where they do and see things they should never see. How can we expect them to come back home and be normal? We need to be aware of this and try to understand. Treat Veterans that you meet with honor and a large dose of compassion.

I did... Do you think that the severity of their "Shell-Shock", was due to the unusually brutal horror of trench warfare?

I could, of course, be wrong but I'm thinking the severity of their shell shock may have been due largely because the soldiers were subjected to shelling and bombing while being "trapped" in a trench for months on end. They couldn't get away and just had to suffer it as the shelling just kept on coming.

PTSD
Only 7% of all Americans have ever served. I can assure you, having someone shoot at you, try to blow you up, have a friend die in your arms, or any other of the horrors of war will imprint on you. Usually badly. Very badly. Feel honored someone did that for you, to protect your way of life. It was an honor to serve, but the price was high.
