Post-combat syndromes are not unique to the Gulf war
Post-combat syndromes have arisen after all major wars. In a study of
war pension files dating back to 1872 Jones and colleagues (p 321)
identified three clusters of post-combat syndromes. Gulf war veterans
were found in all three groups, showing that not all servicemen engaged
in the same conflict can be categorised in the same way. The
changing form of these syndromes seems related to advances in societal
mores, medical science, and changes in warfare.
