The idea discussed in both Tim O’Brien’s "Ambush" and John Steinbeck’s "Symptoms" is the after effects of the combat on the soldiers after a war is over.
It talks about what the soldiers go through, their pain and their turmoil once they come back from having faced a war.

Both the works of the writers Steinbeck as well as O'Brien elaborate the impact war has on the soldiers who dealt with it. Although, both talk of the same topic, the perspective that is presented is dissimilar. O'Brien's tone is more thoughtful while Steinbeck synthesizes the conditions in a more direct and logical way.
Anyhow, a single-statement-representation of this effect in both write-ups can be expressed in the following line- "the debilitating effect of soldiers’ physical maladies."
