Anyone, soldier or civilian, who has been part of or witness to war, is affected by it.

Whether or not it causes a disorder is up to the individual.

My father, a career US Marine, was in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He never talked about it, even if asked. He was the most level headed, normal, and strongest person I have ever known. There were over 450 people at his funeral, if that tells you anything.
