The Power of Fear

Fear when experienced is intensely uncomfortable and seems often to be incapacitating. For fear is disintegrating, demoralizing, it shatters morale. It is sometimes difficult for a tense frightened soldier to get started into combat. To begin the action will relieve his fear. That part is taken care of by army training and discipline. Months of training have taught the soldier to respond from habit to definite battle orders - even though in battle commands often cannot be given as in training.
