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.

I love the story about Patton slapping the shite out of that soldier in the field hospital in Africa or was it Sicily?
Haha he just didn't get the whole PTSD thing.
quote:
When Patton asked Kuhl where he was hurt, Kuhl reportedly shrugged and replied that he was "nervous" rather than wounded, adding, "I guess I can't take it."[15] Patton "immediately flared up,"[13] slapped Kuhl across the chin with his gloves, then grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the tent entrance. He shoved him out of the tent with a kick to his backside. Yelling "Don't admit this son of a bitch,"[15] Patton demanded that Kuhl be sent back to the front, adding, "You hear me, you gutless bastard? You're going back to the front."[15]
Haha he just didn't get the whole PTSD thing.
