Flashbacks happen to anybody that saw something tragic and won't or can't let go. This doesn't have to be a military thing. Police, doctors, firefighters and others can get it too. It's probably a biological thing involving how people store memories in different ways. Not everyone gets these flashbacks, even though they have experienced the same event.
 
There might be a specific trigger. If you or he could identify what that might be, it might reassure both of you. Could well have been a movie scene or something on the news.

Are the flashbacks while he is awake or asleep? Dreams are not uncommon at all among veterans. If they persist, they're something to be worried about. If not, they're disturbing, but temporary, so it's okay, in the end.
 
IT's called PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and until the Iraq wars it was never evan discussed. There are lots of "triggers" and the VA will fight you forever to prove that you have it. That way we Veterens don't get any compensation or treatment. Welcome to reality.
