se ? Give specific evidence from the text to support your answer .
There's a condition in combat that occurs when a soldier is completely stressed out and is " on the verge of a nervous collapse " . in world war 1 it was called " shell shock " simple,honest, direct language . Two syllables . shell shock . it almost sounds like guns themselves.....
.. [I]n World war 2 the same combat condition was called "battle fatigue" for syllables now ; takes a little longer to say . Dosent seem to hurt as much By the....Korean War.... the very same condition was being called "operation exhaustion." . the phrase was up eight syllables now , and any last traces of humanity has been completely squeezed out of it ......
Then ... we got into Vietnam , and , thanks to the deceptions surrounding that war , it's no surprise that the very same condition was referred to as " post-traumatic stress disorder. " still eight syllables, but we've added a hyphen, and the pain is completely buried under jargon .... I'll bet if they had still been calling it "shell shock " some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they needed .
