Lt. Cmdr. Jim Hoeft,a spokesman for the Libyan campaign, Joint Task Force Odyssey Dawn, called the F-15 flight crew's ordeal "a negative isolating experience," and said reintegration was intended to get them from "the incident back to their normal duty status." Hoeft said an important part of reintegration was creating a stress-free environment for the crew.
I'd think that part of the stress they are currently under is dealing with all of the shrinks, wellness hounds, and touchy feely nitwits who are showering them with excessive attention.

There was a time when, if one had a mishap that required an ejection, the institutional response was to pull out green felt for the board the aircrew would be sitting at soon after ...

Times have changed.

Glad the crew are around to eventually tell their squadron mates just what happened.
