25 Lessons Learned from Iraq and Afghanistan.

By The Armorer on January 11, 2006 | | Comments (5)

Continuing the Lessons Learned from OIF/OEF that I started in this post yesterday. Note to military Googlers - these are *not* tactical AARs!
Lesson #2, Our Actions, When They Hurt Or Kill One Of Their Own.

*I* think it's work-safe, though there is plenty of empathic pain in it.

This is *not* an official document! I contacted Mr. Coffey and have his permission for this use. If you choose to download and share it around via email, you may do so - but send it with the caveat that any publishing of the document, for profit or no, needs the permission of Mr. Coffey, as I only asked permission for myself, and he retains all rights!

Mr. Coffey can be reached via his website: Purple Mountain Publishing.

*I* think so. No grotesque gory bodies, but plenty of empathic pain to go around.

My concern for these individuals (American soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan)now intensifies as I have heard that the Bird Flu virus is now rampant in Turkey and spreading to the Iraqi border. How is America going to protect these brave men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan? Dealing with the enemy is tough enough but how can we protect them from this? Raymond B www.voteswagon.com

The same way we'll try to protect everyone else, Raymond. With standard epidemic protocols, which mostly revolve around hygiene.

There may be less to the whole bird flu sky-is-falling than meets the eye. An AP two-sentence blurb in both of the local fishwrappers mentioned that a pair of CDC docs claim bird flu wasn't as virulent as it's being played up to be. "Exaggerated mortality rates" or some such scientifical words--meaning only the usual at-risk groups, the very young and the very old, are in danger.
