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.
