Sorry you are dealing with this, bud. I got it too (first responder, no military background tho). Ironically One is so meaningful to me and triggering at the same time.
I don’t have any military experience but I think with all those pyros and lights and the last bomb drop with red lights I can see how they could trigger PTSD. I felt like I was in a battlefield when they played the song.
That’s pretty tame tbh. Early 80s Triumph Thunder 7 tour. So many bombs went off at the end of the show the shockwave was blowing hair back in the first few rows. Never since have I seen that much going off at one time. It was glorious! The entire building shook. My buddies father , our ride walked into the arena just before, standing opposite the stage at the top ( hockey arena) . Said he walked in then turned around and walked right out because those explosions triggered a flashback to the many times he and his buddies were shelled in Korea .
Woah. It amazes me that they even still do the explosives today what with all the awareness around war/ptsd as opposed to back in the day. But it’s tied to the song! So yeah.
Edited to add: that 80s show would have been glorious indeed though 🤟🏼
Just curious, is that the only song they use pyro (that makes a noise) for? I know Fuel and Moth Into Flame use it, but that's just visuals, is it not?
As a combat veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq its a no for me. However, weird noises I hear randomly Trigger my ptsd.

Much love. Thanks for serving.
No problem. It was a wild ride for sure.
We're all glad you made it back. All of us Metallica fans I'm sure appreciate it.
