This Morning Report post will show the difference between a Soldier who had a NBC (None Battle Casualty) which means he had reached his breaking point and Soldiers who never found out what theirs was. Someone last week said I don't have tact which is not true, but when it comes to someone shooting themselves in the toe to get out of their duty, nope don't waste tact on someone like that.

These are three men from Co B of the 401st Gli Inf 101st Abn Div. The first two Morning Report shows a Soldier wounded but stays on on duty. A few weeks later he was NBC and eventually discharged. Those two Morning Reports are in Pink. This is a man who was wounded and stayed the course and in the end couldn't take it anymore. There is nothing dishonorably about what happened to him.

The next two are in Yellow. In all the years of Morning Report I have run across one but never two men who shot themselves in the toe at the same time. In bold letters on the Morning Reports it says shot by self (NOT IN ACTION). I don't have the CIB for the 401st men but I hope these 2 didn't received the Combat Infantryman's Badge.
