Basically for most of human history war was something that took time. It took way more time to gather men, train them, and then march them to a battle that unless it was a siege would last a few days at most. After the battle was over men had time to decompress from what they saw with the men they served with. Meanwhile with the industrialization of war it became something constant. You constantly had to worry about what was going to kill you and oftentimes had to deal with enemies you never even saw
