The basic argument >is, "If this much evil is possible, there is no God watching over us." Don't recall ever witnessing such a `loss of faith' - maybe later when safe at home sitting on a bar stool recounting war stories. When surrounded by the hell of combat, the sane call for help from anyone who comes to mind - God, dear God, someone, mother, daddy, brothers, uncles,... The list is long. It is reflex, one is too busy staying alive to think a lot about it. And most of the `feelings' are those of sheer terror. It is usually a direct call for help, not as reflective as prayer. A plea that often includes the word `please'.
