What happens if the young soldier freaks out in battle, becomes scared, and poses a risk to his fellow soldiers?
Does the military provide training for these scenarios? |
If it follows the pattern that it did in Vietnam, his fellow soldiers (out of self defese), will probably shoot him in the back and carry on. There were a number of 90 Day Wonders that didn't even last 2 weeks after arriving in country ... what made these death similar to one another, were the bullet holes between their shoulder blades that (IF they were checked out), were NOT made by the enemy (fools, freaks, arseholes were NOT easily tolerated). The authorities DIDN'T want to know - very few cases were ever acknowledged as 'death by friendly fire'.
