He spoke about one of the questions Mr. Opitz asked about combat stress reaction and his belief that those soldiers who are having a reaction to something that happened in combat should stay in theatre, if possible, and get back to doing the role, rather than being treated or removed from that situation, because of their desire to be there for their buddies, as he put it. Has there been a protocol developed on that? If so, has it led to improved mental health outcomes for those cases? Do you have any data that would show that as soon someone who shows signs of combat stress is removed, or for those who are rehabilitated in theatre...? Is there anything you can say on that?
