I wonder that when men and women sign up to be recruits, or when they appointed to the service academies, if they go through a mental health screening as well as a physical, to see if they are fit to serve, especially in wars.

Vietnam was a problem. I can't recall if there ever was any more psychological problems the soldiers suffered during WWII compared to the Vietnam and Iraq wars.
