Affects World War 2 had on American Soldiers


Every soldier from the war was not sure what to expect when they came home. Almost everyone that returned suffered post-traumatic war stress. Of course one of the main problems they dealt with when returning home was the loss of jobs that America had faced. Since America was still dealing with parts of the Great Depression, jobs were much more rare than normal. This caused even more stressed than expected for the returning soldiers. In fact at this time women had begun working more than ever, leaving less and less soldiers with jobs due to the fact that there were none to obtain. And of course this was the beginning of the baby booming time. This was costing lower to middle class families much more money than they could afford. All of this combined lead to serious health issues with these former soldiers.
Soldiers from America during World War 2 were faced with many of the same issues that people fighting right now are. Of course people that were fighting from Europe were faced with a much different type of atmosphere. The one thing that Americans faced that not many faced was the warfare Japan used. Their fighting style was quite similar to the fighting styles of Vietnam. This fighting style was used to scare, wear, and tear down the United States Military Program. All of this lead to serious issues with the United States soldiers during World War 2.
