Elimination of all neurotic persons at induction centers would not dispose of the problem of neurotic reactions in the army. Some of the disorganizing aspects of military life are: 'chain of command' with the necessary subordination, the almost obsessive repetition in the routine of daily life, the sociosexual frustration with the loss of personal identity, the ethico-moral degradation, the disillusionment. Military life however offers powerful compensatory aspects: relinquishment of civilian anxiety, excitement and change, liquidation of provincialism as geographical horizons widen, the revitalization of the concepts of 'Duty' and 'Service', of Cause and Country, and the renascence of women which will ultimately beget a new, freer collaborative and democratic relationship between men and women. In conquering fear and death, man gains new strength and freedom and achieves personality growth, independence and maturity.
