Soldiers who return from active duty with idea that they have 'seen it all, done it all'. The term is mostly used to describe those personnel who have seen what is often described as 'the Horrors of War' i.e. the death of fellow soldiers. These soldiers suffering from 'Squaddie Syndrome' will often exclaim that they are afraid of nothing...that seeing people die means they are able to make executive decisions over civialians simply because of what they have witnessed.
