Most of us learned as barely more than infants that it is evil to kill. "Thou Shalt Not Kill." Not only is it traumatizing to constantly witness horror upon horror, but in combat soldiers are forced to do that which we are taught as children is evil.
Somehow that conflict has to be resolved. People cannot possibly live in any comfort until they have relieved the awful conflict and guilt. It is absurd to expect men and women to come home from combat and simply return to their former lives. It doesn't happen without a lot of help and a lot of work.
