Answer The best answer to your question is how can't you have post tramatic stress syndrome. You are married to a control freak. Do yourself a favor, get out of there before he goes off the deep end, and ends up hurting you physically. Hopefully there are no children mixed up in this mess as you would be doing your children a great injustice, letting them grow up under such conditions.

What was Battle Fatigue called in Vietnam war?

Battle Fatique or Combat Fatique. It was called the same thing because the senior officers and NCOs leading the war in Vietnam were WWII era men. Generals Harkins, Westmoreland, Abrams (all Vietnam war commanders) had all fought in Europe against the Germans during WWII. Unfortunately, it was Vietnam Veterans (victims) that were used to introduce that "Post Tramatic Syndrome" term. Unfortunately because it set the trend for abuse by everyone else (called "getting on the band wagon"-all occupations and all people). But during the Vietnam War "post tramatic syndrome" didn't exist, just combat or battle stress (fatigue).
