Contradiction on PTSD incidence between paragraph 2 & 4

Paragraph 2 says: From 1995 to 2005, the health of combat veterans worsened in comparison with nondeployed veterans, with the onset of more new chronic diseases, . . . posttraumatic stress disorder (emphasis added)

Paragraph 4 says: Studies have consistently indicated that . . . Gulf War veterans have lower rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than veterans of other wars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:285:8200:D250:7176:89E6:7AC3:59EA (talk) 02:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Gulf War syndrome → Gulf War illness – As per this edit summary, the US Institute of Medicine, National Airspace System and Department of Defence now use "illness" rather than "syndrome": I propose that the content on this page is moved to Gulf War illness, with the page Gulf War syndrome becoming the redirect ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:58, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

In light of WP:COMMONNAME, which term is used most often? Misplaced Pages doesn't necessarily title articles according to what is considered official. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:10, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. "Gulf War syndrome gets twice as many google search results as "Gulf War illness". Rreagan007 (talk) 21:29, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME and per User:Rreagan007._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:19, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Thanks to those who contributed to the above discussion. In light of the outcome, do people feel that the first line of the article should be reverted? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it should say something like "Gulf War syndrome, officially known as Gulf War illness..."_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 07:28, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Y No objections so I've changed it. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

/* Persian Gulf War syndrome */

Persian Gulf War Syndrome (PGWS) or Persian Gulf War Illness (PGWI)

The Persian Gulf is placed on the south of Iranian plateau.

The term of "The Gulf" is not a right Term; because this geographic zone bears its specific history, name and characteristics. Hence, The Gulf War should be revised as The Persian Gulf War. All the terms belonging to the Persian Gulf should be named as the original name of the Persian Gulf.

On Misplaced Pages, we use the most common name, which is 'Gulf War syndrome', even if you might feel another name would be more technically correct. - MrOllie (talk) 12:43, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Do Iraqi soldiers suffer from Gulf War Syndrome?

As above. I'm quite surprised that nobody appears to have addressed this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.111.169 (talk) 21:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Possible typo

It seems there is a typo in the name used by the Veteran's affairs office. The phrase "medically unexplained illnesses" appears twice in a row.

Current: "Gulf War veterans' medically unexplained illnesses, medically unexplained illnesses, chronic multi-symptom illness (CMI)"

Suggested: "Gulf War veterans' medically unexplained illnesses, chronic multi-symptom illness (CMI)"

Is Gulf War Syndrome related to Burn Pits?

I was led here after watching a medical video regarding the phenomenon of increased incidence of cancer in US servicemembers exposed to the practice of incinerating garbage, chemicals, UXO, etc. in Burn Pits using benzene-containing JP-8, and I'm looking at the 1991 photo on the Burn Pit page and going "hmmm".
