I’m impressed by the military’s ability to prepare soldiers for psychological trauma. About half the casualties reported in that article were psychological ones.

I only see three cases of shell-shock on the list. But that aside, I doubt the foreign volunteers got much training beyond which end of the rifle to point at the insurgents. Not that I have any actual knowledge of the matter.
