I believe the answer is:

agitated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disturbed' is the definition.
(agitating is a kind of disturbing)

'advertisement about soldier museum' is the wordplay.
'advertisement' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'soldier' becomes 'GI' (GI can mean a US soldier).
'museum' becomes 'tate' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gi'+'tate'='gitate'
'ad' placed around 'gitate' is 'AGITATED'.

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
