Willis,

You are all over it. My dad fought in WW 2. He was in the Marines and fought throughout the Pacific campaign. The stories he told me about what his marines did would get soldiers and marines prosecuted today. But that was a war for survival, there was no CNN looking over their shoulders, and that is how they relieved stress in a bloody, grueling conflict. Now, we are all expected to internalize things… and some people aren't good at that. I have friends that went into combat over and over. Strong men, and brave, facing their fears and overcoming them.
