The term Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder hadn't been invented yet but the thing was real. The movie Best Years Of Our Lives addresses it closely enough for my WWII and Korea veteran father to say he never wanted to see it again.

Yes. My WWII Veteran Father told me about it. It was called Shell-shock or Battle fatigue. Probably other terms as well. Not all are cut out for the horrors of war.
