The Puzzle Palace Admits They They Have No Clue

[unhappycamper]

unhappycamper note: Since the Pentagon has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

I didn't realize that the Pentagon/MIC could restrict my First Amendment rights as well as morph the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107 with zero, zip, nada Congressional approval. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.[br />
unhappycamper summary of this article: The military admits they're still fucking around trying to figure out how to best drug our soldiers. Meanwhile returning veterans are experiencing the depths of PTSD and TBI in some cases exacerbated by the psychotropic drugs prescribed.

It's those muddy waters that will be a main topic of discussion at the conference. Only part of the first day of the 2-day conference was open to the press, but it seemed there will be a lively debate about how big a role drugs should play in treating TBI. Some of the presenters chided doctors for too often reaching for the prescription pad - but nonetheless got questions in a Q&A session about possible drugs to prescribe.

1. Another interesting paragraph..

TBI so often comes with a litany of other issues - PTSD, depression, sleep disorders, anxiety, substance abuse - that one VA doctor who presented at the conference sweeps it all up into one broad category he calls "post-deployment syndrome."

2. Reads like they want to pretend there's no such thing as Traumatic Brain Injury.

As if having an IED go off somewhere near your BRAIN doesn't, um, cause significant injury.

And :wtf: with this one paragraph "request"?

WTF?

3. Didn't you know that your helmet will protect you?

Your head might get ripped off and your brain turned into a milkshake, but, no worries, Mate. :sarcasm:

Limiting fair use.

4. I'd like to know about the one paragraph "request", too

I just spent some time reading his posts and don't see any explanation.
