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.
