Poisoned wounds (was Re: Gauss Weapons)

Okay, I'm going to stop lurking for a few minutes... Maybe I'm missing
something, but I wouldn't expect soldiers to charge the front lines after
learning that they've been fatally poisioned by enemy rounds. It's seems the
human mind is much to optimistic (or prone to denial) to thow away a month
that could be spent trying to get better. Even in the middle of a battle how's
the soldier going to know for sure that the enemy was really using plutonium
rounds (or what ever type of poison)? I think it would be more likely to have
an adverse effect on the morale of the soldiers when after a month the wounded
start dying. Knowing that any wound, no matter how small, will be fatal would
make it difficult for me to return to the battle zone.

"I've been hit! Are they using poisoned bullets? Yes!? Charge!!"
