I fail to see these men would have come home crying saying "Mommy, Mr. Genghis made me do bad things, I need a counsellor..." LOL... as if.

People are fucking pussy nowadays. In WW1, men were pretty much alright after it. After that war, the condition of men returning home from wars has slowly deteriorated each time. Nowadays, men start crying before they've even been to a war. This pattern also matches my view of what I think is a serious social decline in pretty much all decent things.
Ummm... what? WW1 produced some of the worst basket cases. Ever read WW1 poetry?

Furthermore we know nothing of the psychological condition of people that went to war in ancient or medieval times. Mostly because the field of psychology wasn't around back then.
