Soldier complains of 'pullout trauma'
IDF soldier who was involved in disengagement from Gaza asks for compensation from Defense Ministry due to 'feeling that I was taking part in evicting Jews from their homes'

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3258929,00.html

<snip>

"An IDF soldier is seeking compensation for psychological hardship he says he suffered as a result of the disengagement.

"The sights of the pullout have left me with difficult feelings of destruction of homes, destruction of kindergartens, and homes that have remained chiseled in my memory," the soldier said.

He suffered a mental breakdown and has been hospitalized. "Currently I am suffering from flashbacks, nightmares, panic, depressions, and I'm being treated daily at an institute," he wrote to the Defense Ministry. The soldier was released from the IDF a number of months ago."
