Keep in mind, the whole campaign lasted less than two months, that's a little bit longer than a National Guard extended training exercise held at Fort Irwin (NTC) California during the cold war days. So post war effects were at a minimum; as an added incentive, the Iraqi's did more surrendering than they did fighting, so that should've lessened any US "battle fatigue cases" even more.

US troops may have experienced "some" DU (Depleted Uranium) exposure, as this was a new filler for service rounds expended during the campaign. Otherwise, the returning US Troops were greeted with a NATION wide parade upon their return home to the USA!
