My "Other" is having been homeless for 3 years. That may not seem like a trauma to some, but believe me, it was. Also, several other traumas happened to me, including being raped, during that time period in my life. And I am not talking about just staying with friends or something, I am talking about begging in the streets and so on.

I also checked just about every box above except combat.

Other political / police violence, not combat but peacekeeping, daughter dying of cancer toss in sexual abuse and those are the negatives, on the positives sent 2 tons of aid to Papua New Guinea and married for 23 years

Multiple issues. I grew up during the Troubles in N Ireland and was married to a sadistic psychopath. Why I'm not dead I don't know but it's going to be a long healing road ahead.

If I had to rank them, the one that affects me most is sexual abuse, then watching my father die of cancer (as in the prolonged stress and seeing his final moments), and then bullying. The bullying I experienced was never particularly bad, but it was occurring around the same time period as my sexual abuse.
