PTSD is caused by combat action, so, the war that caused the most PTSD is the one in which US military personnel spent the most days in combat. From what I understand, that war is the Vietnam War. US ground combat personnel in Vietnam saw more days in combat in one year than did most US ground combat personnel during the whole of WW2.

The ignorance on this board is only surpassed by the ignorance on the rant most days.

Some battles were horrific, but for optimized PTSD, I nominate
the day raids from Siciliy to Italy.
You are told that after 25 missions, you go back to England. you do the 25.
so many planes and guys are shot down, they need you.
You have to do 25 more.
Some guys did 75 missions.
My dad was wounded on mission #26.
he later volunteered for glider pilot for Normandy, with the 82nd airborne.
ended up with two purple hearts, two silver stars, 10 bronze stars, countless distinguished service medals and a distinguished flying medal for Normandy.
I have watched Catch 22 a few times. The very idea of catch 22 goes to PTSD.
After mission 25, Lt Yosarrian is not allowed a mental excuse because he's scared. The psychiatrist says, if you were not scared, I would think you were crazy.
