One seminal work on the subject is No More Heroes: Madness and Psychiatry In War by Richard A. Gabriel.
One facet of difference, according to Gabriel, is range.
In the Ancient and Medieval world, a mile or two from the enemy was a comfort zone, at least for awhile. You could sleep soundly, there.
In more modern times, the comfort zone gets progressively and massively, further away.
Today, depending on armaments, can you sleep soundly when you're 50 or 100 miles from an enemy army? Are you safe, there? A fighter jet, presently 50 miles away, could strafe you and everyone around you mere minutes from now, in an incident that's over before you can get out of your sleeping bag.
