My dad was. He came back from WWII a raging alcoholic- and he screamed in his sleep, dealing with his PTSD by tamping it down with alcohol so he could fall asleep drunk. I don't see why my dad would have had PTSD, and thus have needed to self medicate, if he hadn't been through Guadalcanal and had his friends blown up all over him, or seen them die rather horribly in the war. (and he did actually have a friend literally blown up and land on him- well, pieces of the friend landed on him...)
