Can we just turn The Mall into a real-life CoD Deathmatch map, make teams based on Senators' parties, and let them go to town on each other? The Dems can have the Independents and Diamond Joe to even it out a little more. Winning team (last Senator standing) gets their vision of an Iran policy approved. I'll put $5 down on Diamond Joe turning a Trans Am into a death machine and mowing down Republicans with a double-barreled shotgun. Bonus style points if he does it wearing mirrored Aviators.

Also every Administration's blatant disregard of the WPR but that's basically become an American tradition at this point.

To be fair, a lot of the unconstitutional stuff done by all of the presidents in living memory isn't exactly a closely guarded secret. Not to say 'if the president does it, it's legal', but if the president does it, Congress doesn't outlaw it and continues funding it, and the Supreme Court doesn't object, well then, it's basically legal. The NSA warrantless wiretapping for example, which is probably the most blatant example of a 4th amendment violation. Even after it came out that the NSA was doing this and lying to both FISA and the Congressional intelligence committee, federal courts still refused standing for any cases brought against the practice and Congress did not pass any new restrictions or deny funding to the NSA. These folks are the ultimate arbiters of legality, so the practice is now de facto legal even if a middle schooler can figure out that it is an obvious violation of the letter of the law.

Do pilots get PTSD from running bombing missions? I assume that they would, but you never hear about it.

Zeroisanumber posted:Do pilots get PTSD from running bombing missions? I assume that they would, but you never hear about it. It doesn't fall under the technical classification of PTSD, because one of the requirements for diagnosis is that it results from being placed in imminent danger or directly experiencing a traumatic event (think sexual assault victims, people hit with an IED, seeing people killed up close, shot at, etc.). psydude fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Mar 11, 2015 |

This. There can be a host of other mood disorders with PTSD like symptoms. Usually some form of anxiety disorder.

I guess bomber pilots aren't in any real danger in Afghanistan or whatever since they're so high up but chopper pilots and anything low-level like an A10 totally is.

I had a PEB client who wanted to claim PTSD (of course tax free combat related) because he was a surgeon who operated on combat casualties from OEF and became traumatized by witnessing the carnage. In a hospital. In Germany.

Patients get stabilized for the flight while in theatre then sent out to Ramstein. Really critical dudes are sent on CCATT flights. Don't ask me what CCATT stands for because I forgot. I worked the aerovac piece in Ramstein for nearly 3 years. If the military does anything right, it's aeromedical evacuation. That poo poo was run extremely well.

Being a doctor or nurse on a FST would be pretty damned depressing. They only got the people that weren't expected to make it back to the level II facility without some immediate intervention (usually multiple amputees, severe bleeding, or substantial head trauma), so their success rate was pretty handicapped from the beginning.

Higher rate of traumas to be sure but they wouldn't be getting stuff like children molested so bad they ended up in the ICU like you would find as an EMT or in a regular state side emergency room. The emergency response system of any type is going too be a bitch on mental health, it's part of the job. I'm all for getting mental health treatment for the entire system, military or not. That's not gonna happen though because nobody gives a poo poo about the dude making less money than McDonald's pays. (not joking it was a pay cut to go from McD's to being an EMT)

One of the doctors at my old work signed up when OIF kicked off. He was a trauma surgeon and wanted to do cutting edge trauma surgery, so he got himself posted to a medical unit near a combat zone. He came back a little stressed and said that he had some sleepless nights, but didn't seem too badly hosed up. He later wrote and presented what I was told was a very good paper on how to properly pick large amounts of shrapnel and bits of cloth out of people. Probably helped that he was used to dealing with some grody injuries before he ever left the States. He said that the experience made him a better surgeon but a worse person, he'd probably have fit right in here.

Typing out a massive response was cathartic enough, so I deleted it. Bottom line, no PTSD for physicians, and I should probably see a shrink but I don't have time anyway.

I remember reading in my psych 101 textbook a few years back that bombardiers in WW2 sometimes developed night blindness as a form of conversion disorder, but bombing runs over Europe were a bit more high risk than what most pilots today are facing.
