No need to get worked up by now :)Just a hunch, but when I heard from one of the reporters attached to a unit saying none of them had slept for 60 hours alarm claxon started to sound in my head.
60 hours without sleep is deep into the territory where psychologists say aberrant behaviour and psychosis can manifest themselves. Ofcource it is very individual, for some it doesn't take even 40 hours. So if this particular soldier was as sleep deprived, it's entirely possible he was hallucinating or otherwise not in control of his faculties.
