i agree to an extent, i've chatted with some of  the vet's in my small town 
(being a vet myself i've found it easy to strike up casual conversation with 
them - talk to them if you get a chance. there are alot of them out there 
who just love to talk and have lots of interesting stories to tell) and they 
have told me some stories about combat both in europe/africa and in the 
pacific. the best sediment i heard was that it was not so much courage in 
some cases as desperation that enabled them to pull off some of the "tricks" 
they did. i would think a WIL: DC15 (-1 per character level) might be in 
order.
just my ramblings...
