It's good to know that Georgie's military officials are really supporting the soldiers unfortunate enough to have to serve his shitty war:

Quote
On his second day in Iraq, Staff Sgt. Georg-Andreas Pogany saw an Iraqi body that had suffered severe trauma, and he suffered what he thought was a nervous breakdown.

"I wasn't functioning. I was having physical symptoms. I was having a behavioral reaction," he recalled.

After struggling through the night, he said he decided to tell his superior officer out of fear that "if we do go out on a patrol and I do freeze up, that could have consequences too."

But instead of being given help, he was told to reconsider for the sake of his career, he said.

"The message was: 'Hey, you're a coward. You're acting like a coward.' "

A translator attached to the 10th Special Forces Group, the 32-year-old Pogany was sent back to the United States, where he was charged with cowardice. That charge eventually was dropped, but his record is still uncertain.

"My career is probably at an end. I've had my security clearance revoked. I'm still struggling to get things set straight," Pogany said.

Any soldier that gets traumatized from seeing a dead body is a lousy soldier.

And any commander who doesn't get his men what they need is a lousy commander.
