Steady On!
Keep your hair on, there tiger....
I refuse to count perfectly able men unwilling, or unable to march into battle.
And don't believe the part in Terry Copp's "Battle Exhaustion" where it says that men who scored high on their intelligence tests were channeled into the armoured.
It has been my experience (completely peacetime, without any real threat of injury or death) that the simpler the squaddie, the braver he was.
Ha!
