I was referring to the rate of fire in that part of the answer, not the will to fight.
(And I don't doubt your assessment). I had to have the issue of
how one treats the gun barrels explained to me by a naval gunnery officer as regards the 5" 54 guns on the Spruance class destroyers I served on.
I met two Ukrainian refugees yesterday, each has their two children with them. They both are quite traumatised by what had happened to them, something I had not thought about. It is not quite the same seeing refugees fleeing Russian shelling in Ukraine where the trauma is obvious, as having them in your home, a safe place and they are still showing signs of trauma. A big lesson to me, I hope I can do something useful with it.
PTSD can come from a lot of different things.
