Fort Hood General Pushes Program that Caused Most Harm?

Brig. General Michael Dillard wrote a piece on the Fort Hood Sentinel. Usually there isn't much interesting in this type of article but this time I screamed when I read this.
"The Fort Hood Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Training Facility is also an excellent support system here at the Great Place. They focus on developing confidence in the community through educational and holistic “Mind, Body and Spirit” programs in order to promote resiliency and overall comprehensive fitness which is great for marriage enrichment. They have programs and classes available such as Family dynamics, parenting, financial planning and budgeting and reintegration training, amongst others. More information can be found on their website at www.hood.army.mil/csf-tf/."

OMG! Why doesn't he get it? They have been doing this "training" since 2009 and it has gotten worse! Dillard thought it was so necessary to address the issue of families in crisis that he had to write. So why doesn't he get what is responsible for making it worse?

Hell I even knew that back when they introduced it in 2009
If you promote this program the way Battlemind was promoted, count on the numbers of suicides and attempted suicides to go up instead of down. It's just one more deadly mistake after another and just as dangerous as sending them into Iraq without the armor needed to protect them.

This is as bad as it gets because no one in the Army has to count them when they are no longer enlisted. In other words, heard any sad stories of veterans committing suicide lately? Yep, you get the idea.
