No.

Sure. We know about PTSD now because we focus strongly on "mental health" and there's an entire science and profession devoted to treating mental disorders, and even the military itself is in on it now and keeps an eye for out.

Nobody was thinking in those terms back then, men were kings of their homes and divorce or other recourse for a bad marriage was unavailable. So if daddy wanted to get a load on, beat the crap out of the wife, beat the crap out of the kids, fuck around carousing and getting into trouble and starting fights and so on, all the stuff we see traumatized people doing now, it would not really have been commented on. Perhaps there MIGHT be some attempts at intervention by family or something, depending on your cultural situation, if it got bad enough, but mostly you would have been free to self-destruct and otherwise act out your trauma as you like.

PTSD is mostly the result of prolonged exposure to a situation in which you can be attacked at any time.

In the past, wars had distinct battles separated by lots of down time. Now, we're fighting counter-insurgency actions where soldiers just patrol around waiting to step on a mine or get shot by someone dressed as a civilian. It's a completely different experience. A modern soldier spends years in a situation where he can't compartmentalize battle away from ordinary life.

It's no surprise that they have a harder time adapting back to civilian life than soldiers in antiquity did.

Does anyone else wish they could go back in time and set up a modern PTSD support group for shellshocked WWI veterans?
It makes me so sad whenever I think about how they were treated back home after all their suffering in the trenches ;_;

200 years is a rather long period, especially for industrialized societies.

So... zero people?

Franks were Romanized Germanics from the Lowlands who mixed with the local Roman nobility of Gaul.

Thirdly is the Trojan Theory, it is a theory first mentioned in Book of the History of the Franks and in Fredegar's History of the Franks, although it can seem pretty unreal at first, a learned man will be less decisive about it :

>The origin of the Franks is due to these events. They had Priam as their first king. It is writtenin books of history how afterwards they had Frigas as king. After this, they divided into two parts. One part went to Macedonia and they are called Macedonians after the people by whom they were received and the region of Macedonia. They had been invited to give assistance to the Macedonians, who were being overwhelmed by neighbouring peoples. Afterwards when united with that people, they gave birth to a great many offspring and from that stock the Macedonians were made into the strongest of fighters. In the future, in the days of King Phyliphy [Philip] and his son Alexander, report confirms what kind of courage they possessed. For the other part, which advanced from Frigia [Phrygia], had been deceived by the fraud of Olexo [Ulysses] and, though not taken captive, had nevertheless been cast out from there. Wandering through many regions with their wives and children they chose from amongst themselves a king by the name of Francio; from him they are called Franks. Francio, it is said, was very strong in war, and for a long time fought with a great many peoples, but in the end, after devastating part of Asia, he entered Europe and settled between the Rhine or the Danube and the sea.
From Fredegar, History of the Franks

Note that NOBODY never proposed that the FRANKS WERE GERMANIC, and that it is blablant revisionism as well as the fruit of German romanticism.

The Current Year's War

Wars only tend to be named after the fact.

It's not like in 1942 you had Jack and Nigel chatting, and one of them said, "Blimey! We're really fighting World War 2!"

The present conflict

History of Rome is top teir.

Seconding.

Also look up In Our Time, it's a BBC program where a guy interviews three or four professors on various historical topics.

History of WWII is also good, though there is too much filler imo. Skipping his blog at the end of each episode and skipping the interview/profile episodes makes it better I think.

please respond

It was both unnecessary and a crime against humanity. So much culture, knowledge, talent lost.

Becuase they just caused so much trouble

>>2532617
No, it completely rejects LTV.

>>2533453
How?? It seems like Henry George essentially adopted Adam Smith's theories of the pricing of goods. It also seems like he understood the worker's added value to be equal to the given wages, which are really just a return on labor, which he says is equal to the return on capital.

In fact, under his system, wages determine the rate of return on capital, not the other way around.

None of them depend on the LTV.

>you will never see all the uppity roasties get mass raped in the next world war

I've thought about it as well, and i think it's very much a modern thing. When you contemplate it, consent really doesn't make sense. Imagine for example if an officer had to acquire the consent of each of his soldiers for every order he gave them.
