In the modern era, the practice of sending soldiers home for treatment has been more prominent than ever. The treatment of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in soldiers has become a top priority for the military nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors.
"During the 20th century, psychiatrists offered their assistance to the military to mitigate the effects of these and other traumatic experiences inherent in warfare." - Quote from "War and Mental Military Health: The US Psychiatric Response in the 20th Century" by Hans Pols and Stephanie Oak

Unfortunately, humanity shows no signs of becoming more peaceful and wars continue to be fought, but, thanks to Cordelia Harvey, soldiers will receive much better treatment for the wounds they sustain, whether they're physical or psychological.
"We examine the attempts of US psychiatrists during the 20th century to treat and prevent the psychiatric consequences of war by implementing screening programs, providing early intervention strategies for acute war-related syndromes near the front lines ("forward psychiatry"), and mitigating the symptoms of long-term psychiatric disability after deployment." - Quote from "War and Mental Military Health: The US Psychiatric Response in the 20th Century" by Hans Pols and Stephanie Oak
