Don’t Put Too Much Sentiment In His Mail
Maj. Gen. George F. Lull, Deputy Surgeon General, told the annual Congress on medical education and licensure that a soldier’s mail should avoid sentiment and instead urge him to get the job done. He attributed psychiatric casualties to home territory roots and criticized nostalgic radio programs for not providing stimulating content. He cited a medical officer who said good leadership is essential to morale and noted high neuropsychiatric casualty figures in units where leaders became casualties themselves.
