First things first is we must wrestle this false superiority of knowing what is mental health away from the general conversation about it. Eight years of Mental and Behavioral Healthcare experience has allowed me to uncover many expert opinions about it, and all such opinions deriving from seemingly enlightened patients. Granted some self-care explanations were on track, but being close to the answers cannot be the standard.
Therefore the philosophical nature of mass expertise is counterproductive and harmful to societies understandings about mental health in general. What then can psychological professionals do to dampen such a kaleidoscope of untrained sufferers diagnosing complicated mental disorders? My suggestion would be to produce a weekly periodical. A digital application on a smart phone with current news in the field. Produced along with a bevy of relatable leaders in the field cast on a short 30 minute weekly video. These non-stoic professionals will raise mental healthcare to the same respectable level as physical healthcare.
Many changes have led mental health to being reconsidered as a crucial opposite to the same coin of physical healthcare. More promotion is required if mental health is to achieve the position of equality it deserves for the benefit of humanity.
Issue 23: Leading to the U.S. Military laying Waste to U.S. Cities
Listen to me. Really listen to me. The 2 years I spent in Afghanistan tested everything about right and wrong I’ve ever faced in my life. I’ve been there at the place where you have to tell your command no. As a Petroleum Supply Sergeant during a lightning storm event near my FOB, I told soldiers they couldn’t get fuel. Guess what my commander did? He respected my decision because I operated under the protocols governing my duties.
I cannot feel sympathy for the military personnel that are committing these acts of violence against the fishermen in the Atlantic Ocean. Honor is not a coat taken off and put on depending on the storms directly above your head. The Law of War protects U.S. soldiers if they are captured. Do you want my brothers and sisters I’ve served with in combat and in garrison to be slaughtered?
God that would destroy all the love, integrity, care I’ve poured into my soldiers to keep them alive and professional in combat. I didn’t have to contemplate a decision I made to deny my soldiers the right to fire on a target I couldn’t determine was friend or foe. My answer was an instantaneous no! Of course, later I learned the outpost we were looking at from my firing position was a friendly.
Now imagine Donald J. Trump applying the same directives to military personnel, active or guard, to fire on a suspected drug deal at Soldier Field in Chicago. Donald J. Trump would level the entire block including Soldier Field right? If we applied the same reasoning, suspected drug dealers on American streets would be subject to summary execution along with any citizen oblivious to the draft dodger in the White House totally degrading the U.S. military.
Oh, the U.S. Supreme Court is directly responsible for the degrading of our great American experiment. Those 6 Conservative U.S. Supreme Court jesters, ah justices, could care less about the law. The law is a nuisance to the use of unbridled power! Human life does not concern these so-called Holy Bible thumping so-called God believers.
Think about that Americans. Republicans have managed to tarnish America for all time. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin can smirk all the long day because we have put a total buffoon back into the White House in Donald J. Trump to prove we aren’t better than no other country in the world! All the righteous bullshit is just that. Bullshit!
Americans. We need to throw every last Republican out of every governmental office in America. From local governments all the way up to the Federal Government.
This is what unchecked power looks like America! The drooling lustful heathen look of utter joy in killing!
