Well evidently it didn't cure this guy. And evidently the response was, "Well, we didn't hit hard enough." And evidently, in response to the obvious failure of this approach, some prefer it to something that would work.
I have a doctor who got mad at me because I had a bad reaction to a drug he prescribed. He's not my doctor any more.
Here we have a failure of the usually successful 'cure' failing and the conclusion is that the 'patient' was a bad guy.
I think that's not reasonable.
Well, we have disagreements on a number of the issues.
I do believe we have some common agreement in the area of extricating the guy from the area on the 2nd offense. The evaluations needed to take place asap once he was out of the combat zone where he could do no harm to his fellow Marines and his self.
As far as blame...a cloudy issue to me until I see the precise procedure in the field for getting a problem like this extricated quickly. Obviously, if there was a procedure available, imo, this is the guy that has the most fault in letting this situation degrade.
It’s a tragedy as are the multitude of suicides that are happening stateside to active duty personnel as well as veterans of these recent wars, where guys and taking 3 tours inside of 4 years.
