Combat stress reaction (CSR) is a term used within the military to describe acute behavioral disorganization seen by medical personnel as a direct result of the trauma of war. Also known as "combat fatigue" or "battle neurosis", it has some overlap with the diagnosis of acute stress reaction used in civilian psychiatry. It is historically linked to shell shock and can sometimes precurse post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Combat stress reaction is an acute reaction that includes a range of behaviors resulting from the stress of battle that decrease the combatant's fighting efficiency. The most common symptoms are fatigue, slower reaction times, indecision, disconnection from one's surroundings, and the inability to prioritize. Combat stress reaction is generally short-term and should not be confused with acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other long-term disorders attributable to combat stress, although any of these may commence as a combat stress reaction. The US Army uses the term/acronym COSR (Combat Stress Reaction) in official medical reports. This term can be applied to any stress reaction in the military unit environment. Many reactions look like symptoms of mental illness (such as panic, extreme anxiety, depression, and hallucinations), but they are only transient reactions to the traumatic stress of combat and the cumulative stresses of military operations.

A man serving in a regular army/usmc/navy/airforce POG/leg unit, in which they stand in the same ranks as women. This occurrence allows these men to sit around during what they consider "deployments" and fuck the women in their unit instead of fight the war at hand. They still receive the same combat pay as the men actually fighting and carrying out combat operations, but sit in a static position banging their fellow unit members. They then return home and pretend to family and bar patrons that they actually serve a purpose in the military.
Any man who mentions serving with women in his unit is a POG/leg, and is guaranteed to have slept with at least one of those women; making him a "combat romeo".
Leg: "Man, I fucked so many bitches on my last deployment. It wasn't even funny."
Operator: "That's great. We ran over one hundred missions, killing eighty five enemy personnel. Which one do you think is going to win the war?"
Leg: "Dawg, I didn't sign up to do dat'."
Operator: "Kill yourself, you POG ass motherfucker."

Get the Combat Romeo mug.Logging out of an online game to avoid combat/death. This cowardly tactic often denies the opponent some victory or loot they may have earned for your possible death. This tactic is often used by weaker outfitted or less experienced players.
In the online game DayZ, a well outfitted player presses alt+F4 (combat logging) to kill the game instantly when presented with a fatal situation with another player. This prevents the opponent from looting the gear from the dead players body and prevents the villain from having to start over as a fresh spawn.

Get the combat logging mug.An excellent FPS game that could've been better if it weren't for all the hackers and noobs screaming "CHAMS AND HACKS!!!" everytime they die.
Also, most of the elite moderators of rooms cannot stand being killed, so avoid them if you ever play a match with them, or else you'll be kicked.

Get the Combat Arms mug.A game that involves every player to rage and cast false accusations of players being script kiddies every time they are killed, even if in the most simplest of ways. To prevent the actual event of a real "hacker" joining a game, 40+ year old men that play typically purchase super elite/elite moderator room powers to kick anyone who as so much as gets a multi-kill or successfully 1v4 clutches during a Elimination Pro/S&D match.
Combat Arms Player 1: *Camps on Grave digger stairs for 8/11 rounds*
Combat Arms Player 2: *Quickly SMGs Player 1 from below*
_Wheaties_: "Wow, he's definitely using chams."
