That seems like one of the issues that would make the game very grim and not so fun for the players and GM.

PTSD is of course grim in RL.
In game - however - you can always try to make it a signature incident that keep on happening with one or more of the PCs.You can lay it on with all sorts of penalties, disability and wacky stuff.
Having a player extra jittery with a loose trigger finger ( you DO hear something in the bushes !!!) Hand him a few notes time and again., you will have him strained like a taut wire or getting sloppy in no time..
Having someone trying to spiritt their demons away ( I am not drinking! I have just had a few beers to keep my buzz going!! No get out of the way so I can get my APC to the CP!)
Having someone in the group with a sleep disorder and then letting them take the wheel in a firefight after 84 hours with no sleep..
the list can be expanded on..
