While I can`t speak for the chances of developing PTSD, what I can say is that the Army has extremely good care and support systems in place for the mental health of it`s soldiers.
Hope this helps. -

What is the case here is that we have become better at recognising the symptoms and diagnosing issues like PTSD. It is not the case that more soldiers develop PTSD than in previous decades but rather that fewer soldiers who develop PTSD are diagnosed and left untreated.
