1) My understanding is that folks who grow up with high ACE scores and that don't participate in high-risk coping behaviors still run the risk of living shorter lives by 20 years. Reducing exposure to adverse experiences is key. Early screeing w/ interventions (e.g., home visitations to educate parents about healthier parenting styles) is one example of interrupting the adversity cycle.
2) War zones are environments of adverse experiences/toxic stress. CPTSD is common among these populations. You might find the WHO ACE questionnaire worth looking at:

If we continue to live in a world that subjects people to adverse experiences at any age we are not headed in the right direction.
I hope this information is helpful. No questions are ever too silly here. :)
