I've got a 2man militia right now (early goings).  I have one guy outfitted with a steel helm and iron sword.

He was training away no problems in his barracks when some emu came close to my entrance.  I saw a chance for some bloodshed to train him up a bit and maybe get some birds for butchering at the same time.

Anyway, he attacks the first bird I target him on, kills it with no problem.  Then he just stands there. 

I've noticed this my last couple of fortresses where the squad just won't move.  Last fortress he actually dehydrated and died because he wouldn't move.  Pathing wasn't an issue as (a) he got there and (b) I had other dwarfs walking right past him themselves. 

So why is my militia guy "frozen"?  What can I do to jump start him again?  Was the bloodshed that bad?  The report didn't say anything about being "haunted by death" or anything.  I've tried to S, A, K, target (to attack another target), I've tried (m) to move back to the barracks.  No avail.  In viewing his thoughts it says he's happy, took joy in slaughter recently.  So nothing bad there. 

No injuries either showing on the health screen.

Neither did cancelling order help, I presume? Switching alerts around?

I heard about sudden paralysis like that in recent versions. I don't think it's curable.

Alright...that sucks.

I disbanded the squad and he immediately shot off like a cannon blast.

I just had this happen to two entire squads. I sent them out to kill various wild life, which they had no trouble with. I did this 6-7 times and they carried it out without any issues. Then I send all of them after a pack of wolves. They took them out, and then just stood there for months, eventually dying of thirst.

Should I report a bug with the save attached? What's the protocol for that?
