This book was released on 2013-06-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reflects a year's worth of work at the direction of the Army's Senior Leadership to provide a "directed telescope" on the alarming rate of suicides in the Army. It represents both initial findings of the Army Suicide Prevention Task Force and informs the future of Suicide Prevention within the Army. Suicide is a devastating event. What was once considered a private affair or family matter now threatens our Army's readiness. Equally alarming to the rising rate of suicide in the Army is an increasing number of Soldiers who engage in high risk behavior. Equivocal deaths,1 deaths by drug toxicity, accidental deaths, attempted suicides, and drug overdoses are reducing the ranks and negatively effecting the Army's ability to engage in contingency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. These deaths further strain efforts to sustain institutional operations. No one could have foreseen the impact of nine years of war on our leaders and Soldiers. As a result of the protracted and intense operational tempo, the Army has lost its former situational awareness and understanding of good order and discipline within its ranks. This report's comprehensive review exposes gaps in how we see, identify, engage and mitigate high risk Soldiers. These gaps exist in our systems and processes due in part to Army Transformation and nearly a decade of war. Policy, process, structure and programs have not kept pace with the expanding needs of our strained Army. While leadership schools emphasize battlefield skills, leaders are not as adept at negotiating the art of leadership in a garrison environment as they were prior to OEF and OIF. Failure to execute policies designed to ensure good order and discipline in garrison sends a message of permissive complacency. Failure to refer a Soldier with a drug positive urinalysis to the Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP); initiate administrative separation for positive urinalysis; administratively separate Soldiers committing multiple instances of misconduct; and report unlawful activity all contribute to a breakdown in good order and discipline. This, in turn, has led to an increasing population of high risk Soldiers whose transmittable behavior can erode Army values and unit readiness. Additionally, our units, Soldiers and Families are feeling the strain and stress of nine years of conflict. The cumulative effect of transitions borne of institutional requirements (professional military education, PCS moves, promotions) coupled with family expectations/obligations (marriage, child birth, aging parents) and compounded by deployments is, on one hand, building a resilient force while on the other, pushing some units, Soldiers and Families to the brink.

Download or read book Signature Wounds written by David Kieran and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising story of the Army’s efforts to combat PTSD and traumatic brain injury The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of our troops. In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama took to the Senate floor to tell his colleagues that “many of our injured soldiers are returning from Iraq with traumatic brain injury,” which doctors were calling the “signature wound” of the Iraq War. Alarming stories of veterans taking their own lives raised a host of vital questions: Why hadn’t the military been better prepared to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Why were troops being denied care and sent back to Iraq? Why weren’t the Army and the VA doing more to address these issues? Drawing on previously unreleased documents and oral histories, David Kieran tells the broad and nuanced story of the Army’s efforts to understand and address these issues, challenging the popular media view that the Iraq War was mismanaged by a callous military unwilling to address the human toll of the wars. The story of mental health during this war is the story of how different groups—soldiers, veterans and their families, anti-war politicians, researchers and clinicians, and military leaders—approached these issues from different perspectives and with different agendas. It is the story of how the advancement of medical knowledge moves at a different pace than the needs of an Army at war, and it is the story of how medical conditions intersect with larger political questions about militarism and foreign policy. This book shows how PTSD, TBI, and suicide became the signature wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, how they prompted change within the Army itself, and how mental health became a factor in the debates about the impact of these conflicts on US culture.

Download or read book Losing Our Way written by Bob Herbert and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From longtime New York Times columnist Bob Herbert comes a wrenching portrayal of ordinary Americans struggling for survival in a nation that has lost its way In his eighteen years as an opinion columnist for The New York Times, Herbert championed the working poor and the middle class. After filing his last column in 2011, he set off on a journey across the country to report on Americans who were being left behind in an economy that has never fully recovered from the Great Recession. The portraits of those he encountered fuel his new book, Losing Our Way. Herbert’s combination of heartrending reporting and keen political analysis is the purest expression since the Occupy movement of the plight of the 99 percent. The individuals and families who are paying the price of America’s bad choices in recent decades form the book’s emotional center: an exhausted high school student in Brooklyn who works the overnight shift in a factory at minimum wage to help pay her family’s rent; a twenty-four-year-old soldier from Peachtree City, Georgia, who loses both legs in a misguided, mismanaged, seemingly endless war; a young woman, only recently engaged, who suffers devastating injuries in a tragic bridge collapse in Minneapolis; and a group of parents in Pittsburgh who courageously fight back against the politicians who decimated funding for their children’s schools. Herbert reminds us of a time in America when unemployment was low, wages and profits were high, and the nation’s wealth, by current standards, was distributed much more equitably. Today, the gap between the wealthy and everyone else has widened dramatically, the nation’s physical plant is crumbling, and the inability to find decent work is a plague on a generation. Herbert traces where we went wrong and spotlights the drastic and dangerous shift of political power from ordinary Americans to the corporate and financial elite. Hope for America, he argues, lies in a concerted push to redress that political imbalance. Searing and unforgettable, Losing Our Way ultimately inspires with its faith in ordinary citizens to take back their true political power and reclaim the American dream.

Book Synopsis Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Lies by : Martha Rosenberg
Download or read book Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Lies written by Martha Rosenberg and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hard-hitting exposé by leading national muckraker Martha Rosenberg blows the lid off of everything you thought you knew about Big Pharma and Big Food. What goes on behind the scenes in these industries is more suspicious, more devious, more disreputable than you could have ever imagined. Rosenberg’s message is clear: the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries are tainting public health through marketing disguised as medical education and research, aggressive lobbying, and high-level conflicts of interest. If you’re concerned about the safety of the drugs you take and the food you eat, you owe it to yourself to read this important book. Having gained the trust of more than twenty doctors, researchers, and experts who were willing to come forward and finally tell all, reporter and editorial cartoonist Martha Rosenberg presents us with her shocking findings. Explosive material from whistle-blowers, scientists, unsealed lawsuits, and Big Pharma’s and Big Food’s own marketers exposes how these industries put profits before public safety and how the government puts the interests of business before the welfare of consumers, creating a double whammy that “pimps” the public health. What Rosenberg reveals about government complicity, regulatory food- and drug-safety lapses, and legislative injustices will both shock and appall. Why have federal meat inspectors become pathetic figureheads in the nation’s slaughterhouses, laughed at by plant managers? Why are medical articles that have been exposed in lawsuits as fraudulent still standing and not retracted? Why was meat possibly containing the United States’ first mad cow sold to five California restaurants when the government said it wasn’t? And why are parents giving their one-year-olds acid reflux medications and their three-year-olds bipolar disorder medications? You’ll find the answers to these and many more disturbing questions in this revealing book.

Book Synopsis Sport, Ethics, and Neurophilosophy by : Jeffrey P. Fry
Download or read book Sport, Ethics, and Neurophilosophy written by Jeffrey P. Fry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of neuroscience and the spread of general interest in the brain have prompted concern for ethical issues posed by neuroscientists. Despite the growing interest in the brain, neuroscience, and the profound issues that neuroscience raises, up to this point, relatively little attention has been given to, broadly speaking, neurophilosophical reflection on the brain in the context of sport. This book seeks to address this gap. Sport abounds with issues ripe for neurophilosophical treatment. Human movement, intentionality, cognition, cooperation, and vulnerability to injury directly and indirectly implicate the brain, and feature prominently in sport. This innovative volume comprises chapters by a team of international scholars who have written on a wide variety of topics at the intersection of sport, ethics, and neurophilosophy. Not only are the issues presented here of pressing philosophical and practical concerns, they also represent a new mode of fluid interaction between science and philosophy for the future of sports scholarship. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.
