Someone with more historical knowledge would have to chime in, but I wonder what contributes more to Vietnam and Middle East in particular causing issues. From an outside perspective, maybe the difficulty differentiating between combatants and innocents? Not so black and white with uniforms and such.


Part of it is due to the wars not being fully supported by US citizens. Vietnam Veterans were not treated well by a lot of people. And you are right about these wars including women and kids in some places. I also think if it was truly studied, you would find it in previous wars. They would call it being shell shocked. The Hell’s Angels were founded by WW2 vets who had trouble adjusting to normal life.
