Letter defines, in psychological terms, the look in a soldier's eyes It's a defense mechanism, Kenneth Scott learns from this letter from his daughter, Cheryl Holland, who sent this note to him on Tuesday:"I read the article--very nice--in the ColumbiaMagazine. Thanks for giving me credit for the gift. Ernie Pyle was recognizing that the mind "detaches" itself from reality somewhat in situations that are too horrible or stressful to deal with on a day-to-day basis. I have read about this in psychology. It is a defense mechanism that allows us to survive and also not go crazy when we have to do things we would not normally do (like kill other people ) or are so overwhelmed by seeing others killed and/or tortured. It is almost like you are not really there, but watching it from a distance, and it helps to protect you emotionally." See "Adair Countians in War: Explaining that look in a soldier's eye" by Joe Hare. This story was posted on 2007-06-21 06:45:28
