Suicidal thoughts result
Suicidal thoughts result from suppressing feelings that can not be expressed, or tolerated in a battle field environment. Feelings that are seen as a sign of weakness will result in a soldier being relieved of his position, and possibly, ending his or, Lingerie Wholesale her career. Humiliation, disgrace, and failure are the threats to those that will not conform to the standards set forth in the military standards of conduct.
So sick of .....
Im sick and tired of the gov. hiding from the public the indecency and wrong doing that the VA care has so often let our men and women down with proper healing from war. It's wrong to brainwash the troops into being quite about things as well. I was shocked to read this. And shocked to have found your blog, for I like a person who speaks their mind.... Great post. Keep up the good work.
Our Veterans Deserve Proper Care
This is a gross injustice happening all around the country. Our goverment drafted our young men into wars which they proudly fought to serve their country. Now that they lay in hospitals many from the mental illness's and wounds that were acquired during wartime, we turn our backs while enjoying the very freedom they have earned us.
Americans need to stand against such injustices as this. The goverment is slowly forgetting the people which it was designed to serve and protect. We are slowly loosing our health care, social security, and our constitutional rights.
More and more goverment regulation is intervening in America's rights to choose. One such recent example is the regulation on the Payday Loans industry. The legislation if it passes will literally put hundreds of business owners out of business and many thousands will loose their jobs.
Americans have the legal right to make there own financial decisions without intervention from are local, state, and federal governments.
I hope Americans take these issues to heart so that the progression of these liberty damaging laws and regulations will stop.
I'm all for the IVAW and
I'm all for the IVAW and related organizations and any subsequent investigations that come out of their work. However, am I really supposed to believe that you've obtained an email that was clearly meant to be private; what's to keep anyone from believing that this isn't doctored? There's no way to tell...
I hope these situations
I hope these situations concerning our veterans are made public. It's already confusing for the majority of Americans why we must take this responsibility upon our shoulders. Can't we just live as a nation dedicated to the welfare of our own people?
[Iraq war] Vet that attempts suicide now teaching awareness
[Iraq war] Vet that attempts suicide now teaching awareness and its prevention to U.S. soldiers.
As a Vet himself, Mr. Dovel, the founder and president of ISP (International Suicide Prevention), has developed a new training program specifically tailored toward soldiers.
Mr. Dovel, having attempted suicide himself over twenty years ago has since dedicated his life to helping those that suffer from suicidal thoughts. As seen on, “Good Morning America” and “20/20”.
The issue confronting the soldiers today hasn’t changed much since the concept of going off to war was first conceived thousands of years ago. The soldier leaves behind those they love and a way of life they want to protect. For most, nobility, honor, and a sense of true purpose have driven them to join the fight. But, before becoming soldiers most are unaware of the commitment that is required to become a member of a victorious army.
War is an all or nothing proposition requiring an attitude of extreme focus for those that fight in them. A soldier is taught that victory will go to the ones that attain control of their mind, and body. Any thought of weakness, or hesitation, will result in their death, or that of a fellow soldier. Soldiers are trained to run into machine guns firing at them upon the sound of a command to do so by their commanding officer.
Suicidal thoughts result from suppressing feelings that can not be expressed, or tolerated in a battle field environment. Feelings that are seen as a sign of weakness will result in a soldier being relieved of his position, and possibly, ending his or, her career. Humiliation, disgrace, and failure are the threats to those that will not conform to the standards set forth in the military standards of conduct.
The human mind is a very complex machine that adapts to the conditions it experiences in order to cope. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather, noise, smells, and sights, in direct opposition to what a person has been conditioned to previously, will change a person’s personality, perceptions, and current core beliefs. When a person is exposed to extreme change for prolonged periods of time, especially the kinds experienced in a war zone create emotional barriers blocking necessary components crucial for us to exist in this world.
What has been done, can be undone!
So, we must be aware of the fact that even the most mentally strongest among us, exposed for prolonged periods of time to harsh experiences, will result in psychological change. It is also important to note that these changes are not always readily apparent on the outside. So what can we do to undo these changes?
ISP (International Suicide Prevention), a nonprofit organization focused on lowering suicide rates has developed a new training program specifically for soldiers going to, and those returning from the battle field. Just as a person must be prepared to go to war, they must also be prepared to become civilians again. This new training program is for soldiers exiting the military, as well as for active duty personnel that are coming home on leave, and that are fully expecting to return to a war zone in the near future.
Coining a term used by the military, “debriefing”, the soldiers are given a new set of conditioning called “VSS”, in a way that allows them to express emotions that are prohibitive in war zones. This ISP debriefing, in one hour, vets, and active duty soldiers are explained their complex dilemma, and how to overcome it.
Thousands of active U.S. Army troops will undergo this specialized training this April, 2008 at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
Media questions;
How is this training different than the current training?
Is this a temporary fix, or a permanent solution?
Will troops need a follow up to this training?
Will Vets have access to this training? And, will they have to pay for it?
What can the civilian population learn from this information being taught?
This training is being sponsored in part by:
The John La Valle Family
WIT-Services
Sundance Builders
National Crime Scene Cleaning
Fairbanks North Star Borough School District

The bells are ringing; the
The bells are ringing; the Philadelphia Phillies have won the World Series 2008. It has been 28 years since their last victory when Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose and Steve Carlton showed the American League the meaning of spirited, winning baseball. Twenty-four-year-old Cole Hamels was named the World Series MVP in only his 3rd season in the Major Leagues. Victory roared across Philadelphia as emotions ran high while the city prepared the celebration of the boys bringing home the Commissioner’s Trophy. However, supporters of the community are also preparing for something else; mass rioting. Temple University recently sent out an email to its students detailing the many ways they will be arrested while they celebrate the Phillies World Championship. In the email they stated, “Students involved in vandalism, refusal to disperse, destruction of property, etc. will face both criminal and University disciplinary action. Sanctions may range from fines up to and including immediate suspension. Surveillance – including videotaping – is heightened during the Series on campus and throughout the city.”
Is there really a need for police state crackdown? People should be more respectful; it’s the adult thing to do. However, if someone less respectful of property as you leaves you with a smashed windshield and you need help to take care of it before you’re paid again, affordable personal loans are available. Keep your spirits rolling with victory.
