Dogdaddy:-
I agree with you 100% and said so in my posting above. I knew and saw numbers of Paras that I wouldn't want to fight with a gun and yet when wounded they were calling for their Mother then the Chaplain.
What many people forget is that many of us were only 19 or 20 and hadn't been away from home before let alone in a war!! We were truly only kids when we went in the Army.
This Mother Issue is a big hole that many Army Nurses filled with the WIA because they comforted a bazillion WIA by their conduct and concern for the man's situation. Too often they were not given the credit they deserved. I saw Nurses crying like a baby while holding a man's hand to make him quiet down as he was asking for his Mother over and over.
