Subject: Do Spartans suffer from PTSD?

Beware the smiley face! =D

...or any other mental trauma? I haven't read the books so do they show signs of it in any of the Spartans?

I know they are trained and such and practically brainwashed from a young age but at a certain point surely the war will take some sort of toll on them? They do have feelings, after all.

Obviously ODST's/Marines and any other personnel will do so.

Oh and PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, for those who don't know - a common mental illness amongst war veterans.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Jun does, but it wasn't a huge problem.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Lucy, a Spartan-III, never spoke after a gruesome battle due to a kind of PTS.

Every once in awhile, but most of the time it doesnt effect combat prowess.

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

This.

When I read about that it made me feel for the Spartans a bit. Even super soldiers that are bred to kill can feel horror.

Well Lucy became mute after I think operation prometheus or something like that and Jun is stated to have it. Johnson has been described as having terrible nightmares in cyro sleep. As for SIIs we're not sure but they're probably been shaken quite a bit after what they've been through.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Jun is the only case we know of. But he got passed it.
