I can't help but feel that most people have missed the point here! increased Op Tempo, increased marriage breakdown, increased psychiatric referrals, increased positive results for CDT. I'm not normally a betting man, but I'll bet a Chinook Print that D&D is on the increase as well.

Why?

Because more and more people are witnessing and dealing with events that they are not trained to deal with, and the MOD support infrastucture is inadequate. The Can Do attitude is costing dear at the moment. Ask anyone involved with Combat Stress.

Not all cases are caused by the Op Tempo, but I bet the increase is.

Want to help, donate to Combat Stress. Wanna just explain it away as losers taking dope, type a reply
