That Includes You, Pte Blithe

Pte Blithe found it tough in war. Though he is physically in the battlefield, he is not making himself useful at all. To escape reality, he plunged into self-denial. He thought he was blind. He couldn't see a thing.

Yah... his situation is caused by combat stress. But his method, is used by many of us in real life. When the going gets tough... we will shrink back, when results to not match our expectation... self-denial and self-condenmation sets in. All these are self inflicted wounds. It's like shooting yourself in your foot. It's normal to get lost once in a while... but one has to quickly find his orientation and move on. There are many Captain Winters and Lt Spiers around... cajoling their men.. urging them on... tried to raised their morale.... but all will be useless if the soldiers isolate themselves. Cheer up.. stay positive.. and rejoin the platoon. Don't always stuck in the trench.
