(8) louie was suddenly screaming. sylvia turned and found him shaking violently, shouting, \take it off! take it off! i cant stand it!\ as sylvia jumped up, louie swore at the voice, yelling something about propaganda prisoners. sylvia snatched up the record, and louie yelled at her to break it. she smashed it and threw it away.

Explanation:

Paragraph 9 shows Louie's extreme reaction (yelling, shaking) to the broadcast. This indicates that his war experiences left deep psychological impacts. The other options are incorrect: war experiences aren't always openly expressed (Louie's initial silent horror), war does affect emotions (his reaction shows it), and there's no indication war experiences are easily forgotten (his strong reaction).

Answer:

War can leave deep psychological scars.
