Vietnam War veterans’ mental health comparing to other wars’ veterans

1.05K viewsOther

I noticed that a lot of media and publications talk about Vietnam War veterans suffering from PTSD and other psychological/mental health issues.
What was so devastating in this specific war comparing to other wars (i.e. WW1 and WW2) that caused so many vets’ trauma?
Or is it a matter of fact that during previous wars mental health care was less developed?

It was pointless. Most people who went there are disappointed that they lost, or that the war was predicated on a lie. It’s hard to see your actions or experiences in a good light knowing it was pointless suffering and cruelty.
