Wyoming National Guard repeating "resiliency" failure

This is stunning! First, Resiliency Training is not new and it began under Battlemind. This is and has been a failure because by the time they get to the good parts of this "plan" the soldiers have stopped listening. They were told they could train their brains to be "mentally tough" which ends up telling them they are weak. It tells them that if they end up with PTSD, it is their fault because the didn't train right so when they look at the others they were with when the trauma hits them but not their buddies, they believe it is their fault. The suicide numbers, attempted suicides and the "deaths still under investigation" are proof of that. The fact that less than half of the soldiers needing help actually ask for it after all these years proves that one too.
