Yes, worse than any hell men have ever gone through. WWI was miserable and seemingly unending. Imagine being in a trench filled with dead bodies and human waste for literally months. You stand up, you die. Mortar hit, dead. German assault, dead. Mustard gas, dead.
Hospitals were full of soldiers dealing with ptsd even then btw. They just called it shell shock.
ETA I meant WWI, obviously. Changed that

Lucky for us, the US Army trenches in World War One were not filled with dead bodies and human waste. Those conditions may have existed for other armies in that war but not for the US Soldiers and Sea Soldiers.
But if we are talking about ALL soldiers in all wars, then, yes, we should take a close look at WWI battles like Verdun, the Somme and Passchendaele where those conditions were, at times, present.
