i was aware that domestic violence is much higher in the military and often covered up, but I would have thought the military would have become more proactive in addressing these issues rather than continuing to dismiss or hide them. yet, i feel part of the problem is that even the training sessions that are mandatory to attend are not taken seriously, based on my own observations. however, i was not aware of the second article regarding the use of "go" and "no-go pills" by pilots, dating back to 1960 when they were approved for use. the latter has come out as a possible factor in the overaggressive/paranoid response by a pilot in the friendly fire deaths of 4 Canadian military personnel. donnie
