Much of the military's research on killing and battle stress began after World War II, when studies revealed that only a small number of troops — as few as 15% — fired at their adversaries on the battlefield. Military studies suggested that troops were unexpectedly reluctant to kill. Military training methods changed, Grossman and others say, to make killing a more automatic behavior

Well it worked because by Viet Nam the number was 95%, but nobody bothered to de-train/de-brief these guys, which caused a lot of trouble at home.
