I think it sacrifices something from trying to be an inclusive term. It's nice that we have a general term but it lacks understanding that some soldiers just think it's a soft name for soft people. Not because it is but because the audience it's extremely relevant are strong hard assed people and the term makes it harder to retain the warrior identity that develop while being a soldier. Than you just a broken soldier, not a harden one who faces shell shock. There are certainly times when shell shock makes no sense but I find PTSD dehumanizing especially since no one actually says post traumatic stress disorder.
