Very true. My Dad fought in WW11 - they had some scares, but overall he didn't need a psychologist. One day, their own air force accidentally bombed them , my dad was with the tanks, two men could get in, but as many as possible climbed into my Dads tank, totally squashed, when all was over, as they go out about 15 had managed to squeeze in!
