[from a friend]
i was aware that domestic violence is much higher in the military and
often covered up, but I would have thought the military would have become
more proactive in addressing these issues rather than continuing to
dismiss or hide them. yet, i feel part of the problem is that even the
training sessions that are mandatory to attend are not taken seriously,
based on my own observations. however, i was not aware of the second
article regarding the use of "go" and "no-go pills"
by pilots, dating back to 1960 when they were approved for use. the
latter has come out as a possible factor in the overaggressive/paranoid
response by a pilot in the friendly fire deaths of 4 Canadian military
personnel.
