Comments on: Deciphering Today’s Signature War Injury http://scienceprogress.org/2008/12/deciphering-todays-signature-war-injury/ Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:59:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kathy Barker http://scienceprogress.org/2008/12/deciphering-todays-signature-war-injury/comment-page-1/#comment-3772 Kathy Barker Thu, 11 Dec 2008 02:07:02 +0000 http://www.scienceprogress.org/2008/12/deciphering-today%e2%80%99s-signature-war-injury/#comment-3772 And yet, we keep sending young people over there where they will be injured in these horrible ways, and turn our backs on them when they return. Boot camp dismantles the cultural backbone, and combat results for almost all soldiers in PTSD, according to many veterans. Civilians are overwhelmingly the victims. Surely one role for scientists is to question the value of war, one of the greatest enemies of public health. Many treat this as sacred territory, treating war with more reverence than religion. Perhaps instead of trying to tease out the effects of TBI from PTSD, we can work on a way to eliminate both. Thanks for the article, which points out the madness of our policies and assumptions.
