I'm sure you know that back then, no one knew about the psychological damages of war or if they did, the soldiers were expected to hide it. The family said he was never the same person and he hid in a bottle for the remainder of his life.
I think often of the horrible post-service suffering of soldiers around the globe, and it's usually due to senseless wars. Citizens exposed to these wars certainly suffer just as much. There surely cannot be a sane person left in Syria and not very many in Iraq or Afghanistan.
