Donald Duck has PTSD.

Why it may be true; Donald Duck started out as a generic cartoon duck, but became more and more prone to fits of pantsless rage as Disney animators realized that cartoons are lame if everyone has the same personality (it's also the reason Goofy became dumber and Mickey developed his crippling fear of intimacy). Today Donald is the fifth most published comic book character in the world, right after Wolverine, with whom he shares certain psychopathic tendencies. The Journal of Cartoon Overanalyzations provides an alternate, yet perfectly reasonable explanation for Donald's escalating anger issues: He's suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Specifically, he came down with it after the series of shorts in which he fought the Japanese in World War II. A reasonable Donald got drafted and shipped to the Big War -- an angry shell of a duck returned. There's the fact that Donald totally has war flashbacks from time to time (seriously -- we'll get to that in a second), but let's look at his change in personality. Donald was a temperamental character from as early as his second cartoon, but at first he was only reacting to provocations and rarely tried to hurt anyone. After the war, however, he became a lot more violent and unstable. He went from just comically moving his fists when he got angry to trying to cut Chip and Dale in half with a saw. Check out how Donald reacts to the exact same situation before and after the war: In this strip from 1938, he wakes up to find his icebox empty. His response is to set up a camera to catch the thief.

(Description because I only can put 1 picture in media :c)

Donald finds his icebox wide open with a complete mess of ice everywhere. He set up a camera to find the "burglar". The next day, while the photo is warming up, he finds that he was sleepwalking.

The same premise is recycled in a 1945 comic called The Icebox Robber, but this time Donald immediately flips out on his nephews.(Description because you know, Media :|) (I have no idea what it means but it can't be good) In order to prove that Donald is sleepwalking and stealing his own food, his terrified nephews decide to wake him up with some firecrackers. Big, big mistake. This is what happens: While Donald is sleepwalking, his nephews throw firecrackers on the floor under him. He wakes up petrified, jumping from the floor and saying things like, "I'm in a mine field! Machine guns ahead! It's a Jap ambush!" Holy moly, Donald is having a freaking World War II flashback, which, as the theory points out, is one of the symptoms of PTSD, along with anger, sleeping troubles, and pretty much every other part of his personality. We can hardly blame Donald for then trying to stab the kids, thinking they're Japanese soldiers, because he's just blinded by rage. Donald Duck is chasing after his nephews with a sharp stick shouting, "I see you, you little slant-eyes nips! I'll skewer you on my spear like mutton chops!" And "THATS RIGHT! Swim back to Japan!" As the kids jump out a window. He throws a coffee-maker at them as they run behind a tree to hide. "A few hand-grenades will be on your way!" Donald Duck quacks.

The theory: Donald Duck Suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
