First of all, call it ‘Shell Shock’ instead of PTSD.

Why don’t we just label it “want of moral fibre” like the hardcore Brits did to victims in WWI. PTSD is a much better descriptor given that a lot of the suffering according to more recent research comes from the breach of the social contract between suffering vets, who had horrible things happen in combat and the military and civilian societies around them.
