In reply to: What is now PTSD, was called cowardice. Another word for it was "yellow". To control this deviant behavior, your own troops were required to shoot you at the next sun-rise.
Couldn't disagree more.
PTSD usually comes after the fact. Being "yellow" or "Cowards" usually was a result of what you did before or at the beginning of the action.
Someone who doesn't show up for the fight can't really have side effects from it.
Shooting at the next sunrise, what are you referring to? Shooting at sunrise would give your position away to the enemy who would be able to call for fire without even seeing you. Not very tactical.
Vietnam Vets showed great PTSD, most people called them flash backs of the war. They had trouble sleeping, avoided open spaces, and were constantly looking around for enemy after their time in Vietnam. (Some vets, not all)
