Rape is not mentioned but implied. There is a scene in one of the flashbacks where the antagonist was staring at his past romantic partner across an open space where she is lying in the the grass mixed with the last time he saw her where the movement of her body looked like people or aliens were raping her traumatized or dead body before she is vaporized.

Col. Dolarhyde mentions tragic events from the Battle of Antietam, in the US Civil War, and that he has not recovered from that. It's an 'in-passing' comment around the campfire, but could totally trigger PTSD. Still, not explicitly so.
