re: Which War Would Result In The Most Severe PTSD For Soldiers?

What are you talking about? Let's leave WWII out of this since all leaders of all sides made their priorities and principles clear to their citizens. They knew what they were fighting for, and even the biggest pacifists to this day agree that WWII was necessary. 

WWI though, no one had any clue what they were fighting for. Sure they knew their countries had alliances and beef with some other countries, but there was nothing clearly formed here. It was as murky as us fighting communism and Charlie in Vietnam.

You are right about WW1. I shouldn't have lumped it in with WW2. But the same point still stands in that my opinion, PTSD would seem like it would be worse for the soldiers in Vietnam or WW1 than it would be for soldiers of the second World War. I know in every war there is soldiers that suffer PTSD and their is terrible shite they see in every war. But I would believe it would be worse for soldiers that didn't want to be there or didn't know why. Just my opinion though plus I wasn't there for any of them.
