PTSD used to be called battle fatigue which is when I studied its symptoms and can set in pretty quickly, most likely in mild form. In the mild case, you have varying symptoms from developing a lisp, short term memory loss and stuff like that. I would not think it out of the question if shaking is involved.

It would be weird to give your main character Parkinson's, never mention it, and then have him die without it seriously affecting him, or him or anyone else realising what it is. Suspecting that end is near Why does it explain releasing the soldier?
He is also meant to be around 34 years old - that's very very young for Parkinsons. Early onset Parkinson's also typically has a slower progression rate and lower rate of some symptoms including dementia. I think its a stretch to diagnose Parkinsons based on a few decisions he makes and the shaking hands. Why would Parkinson's explain choosing to be merciful to a human being?

According to the wiki page of Saving Private Ryan : Just before the Rangers embarked at Portsmouth, England, Miller's right hand began to shake uncontrollably for unknown reasons, though it hints he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD.
However, Miller had already seen combat prior to the movie. Saving Private Ryan is consistently cited as one of the more realistic depictions of all war movies , thus it's no surprise the characters themselves suffer real-life consequences of combat. Nathan Miranda is an artist and aspiring screenwriter with a B. Prior to writing for Screen Rant, Nathan worked for Regal Cinemas where he helped build and managed their blog, Regal Reel, to which he also regularly contributed.
Nathan teamed with his brother Joseph to publish two children's books in their World Adventure Series, an educational fiction series featuring characters of different nationalities from around the world.
The first two books are available at Amazon in print and ebook. Opening up to his men for the first time, Miller made it clear that he followed orders from his superiors in order to expedite his own return home to his wife, and that every soldier that died under his command made that goal more distant.
He offered for Reiben to leave willingly, even wanting to sign the papers, but he just wants the man to understand that he is still human and is just trying to get back to his wife. Miller then proceeds to begin burying the dead soldiers, his own men helping one by one. Reiben silently rejoined the squad, and after Wade's burial they proceeded on to Ramelle.
Private Ryan was finally found outside of Ramelle on June 13th. After returning to the village, Miller spoke with Ryan and told him of the deaths of his brothers. Surprisingly, Ryan refused to leave with the Rangers and made it clear that he intended to stay with his unit and defend Ramelle's bridge against an expected German attack. The small unit of paratroopers in Ramelle had very few weapons, and Miller, the ranking officer, decided to stand with them and prepare a suitable defense.
Miller taught the men how to make sticky bombs and designated everyone's role such as Jackson serving as a sniper in a bell tower and Melish as a machine gunner. As a fallback position, a bombed-out structure on the opposite bank of the Merderet River was designated by Miller as "The Alamo ," from which explosives planted around the bridge could be detonated if the Germans could not be stopped.
Miller also ordered Ryan to never be more this "2 feet away and that's not negotiable". Once the Germans attacked the Rangers and paratroopers were able to fight on the move, but were soon overwhelmed by the numerical superiority and equipment of the Germans.
The survivors retreated across the bridge to The Alamo, but Captain Miller was knocked to the ground by the blast of a German Tiger Tank shell. The detonation device for the explosives had been knocked out of his hands, and as he moved across the bridge to retrieve it, Miller was shot in the chest. The shot had come from the opposite bank and had been fired by the same German soldier that Miller had set free earlier.
Although the Germans were soon driven off by U. Miller was fatally wounded. Most of Miller's men had also been killed. As Reiben sought aid for his dying captain, Miller's last words to Ryan were, "James, earn this. Earn it. Ryan sought approval from his wife in the hope that he had lived up to the sacrifice made by Miller and his men.
Miller, being a captain, is an assertive but well liked leader in the Army. Due to his history as a school teacher and teaching "a thousand kids" like Private Ryan, he knows how to handle them so the men look up to him. He is so revered that many soldiers have crafted rumours of Miller being an invincible and true soldier, his own squad joking he was bred to fight. However, Miller hides his vulnerable side from his men, particularly the moment when he privately cried at having lost medic Wade due to his rather rare error to attack the machine gun nest because he "didn't feel good about anything" after having lost many soldiers over his service.
He justifies it through a "sacrifice the few to save the many" philosophy, hence why he is internally against the mission to rescue Ryan, as "the mission is the man" so he "better be worth it, because [he] wouldn't trade 10 Ryan's for one Vechhio or Caparzo".
