A decade after the start of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, studies have shown that the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among troops is surprisingly low, and a Harvard researcher credits the drop, in part, to new efforts by the Army to prevent PTSD, and to ensure those who do develop the disorder receive the best treatment available.
I don't know why we don't just call it "combat fatigue." This is the result of being sent to war and reflects nothing bad bad about the troops who suffer from it. Or should those with physical wounds feel inferior because their skin isn't bullet proof?
