What a sick b****!
And how, in the name of all that is Holy, does this deranged piece of trash get into WRAMC to gather her human guinea pigs (our hero soldiers) for her anthropological experimentation?
The theme of her article in The Post is that the war is creating a generation of traumatized soldiers who are getting drunk and getting in fights because the evil Bush administration ruined their lives forever.Bear in mind, Stillman has a masters degreee in anthropology--she studies humanity. Stillman tries to make a case for a nationwide epidemic of whacked-out Iraq veterans getting drunk and getting in fights or killing themselves.
So what does Stillman do about it besides writing a hit piece in The Post? She takes soldiers with traumatic brain injuries in her car to D.C. area bars so they can get drunk so she can write about them in The Post:
Well, the drinks at her bar “come with cheerful pink umbrellas”, and everyone knows pink is a calming color! < /sarcasm>
I wonder if she really believes that soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen have always been perfect little Boy Scouts, and would never have even thought of taking a drink or (Gasp!) fighting if not for President Bush.. I’m willing to bet Yale will grant her a degree with honors for this “research”.
If she follows proper protocols, she will compare the subjects habits before and after their war experience to find what effect the war had on them. To eliminate temporary effects of the war (relief at getting out alive, survivors guilt, etc.) she would have to do at least a five year follow up. I doubt she will follow accepted protocols. If she did she couldn’t contribute to the “Whacked Out War Vets” that is intended to carry on where the “Whacked Out Viet Nam Vet” left off.
