I think Trace may be on to something. Could it be so the VA (or other veterans organizations in other countries) has a unique classification for military service members who have combat PTSD or CPTSD for treatment purposes.
It totally agree that civilians caught in a war situation or pow situation can suffer the same, if not worse, as an armed soldier.
