If he's having a nightmare, the person who's picking him should be questioned. His country is at war, everyday there's a risk something could be happening to a member of his family, he probably isn't in the right mental state to be playing. Although at times like this keeping busy is the best thing for you.
As for the people calling him a draft dodger, I'll bet none of them have done active service and would slate their kecks if called up. I imagine his country prefer people like him in an international spotlight remain there to keep their struggle visible.
