Emotional Reserve Strength of Distressed Soldiers


Realize that distressed soldiers have far more strength than appears at first glance. An injured or sick person may not put his best foot forward. The strong points of his personality are likely to be hidden beneath his fear, anguish, and pain. It is easy to see only his failures even though he worked efficiently beside you only a short time ago. With your aid he will again become helpful. Whatever made him a good soldier, rifleman, or buddy is still there; he is needed.
