Stationed at Canterbury - bit close for my fingers. IF this is proved true the guy needs a long de-brief in a white coat.

It's uncomfortable, but nothing new. I can think of incidents like it in just about any war that lasted more than a few days... Vietnam, WW2, probably Korea. "Good U.S. boys" did it in the Pacific war. I think it comes from stress combined with a particular mindset, but I'm just guessing there.

Remove the individual(s) from combat and press on.

True , go back in millennia , heads on poles ,proof of death , ie , bring me his head etc etc , WW2 gold teeth extracted from the dead , but the sentence was shot if caught , better souvenirs would be , his/her weapon , dogtags, or something like that , maybe the guy in Q had problems pickin his nose and needed a hand
