Also, if you read about WW1, you'll understand why the Lost were so messed up. Ever heard the term "Spandau ballet"? (I'll spoiler this because it's truly horrific.) This is how the soldiers called it if one of them ran into barbed wire, but didn't die, and then was hit by bullets - and would twitch. But this is something the civilians didn't understand. And neither did their officers. As many said, the British soldiers were "lions lead by donkeys". And other armies weren't much better.
It's no surprise that many of the Lost became alcoholics, other addicts or plain mad. Or political fanatics who wanted a scapegoat.
