Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Colonel, once more, I thank you for being here. Post-traumatic stress is a taboo subject for some people. We only started talking about it a few years ago. Before that, it was not talked about, it was hidden. But post-traumatic stress is not just a result of war. For example, people can suffer post-traumatic stress after being raped or being robbed on street.
The battlemind training you mentioned reminds me of budotraining that was very popular in California in the 1980s. It focuses, not on people's weaknesses, but on their strengths and skills, and on learning to use them more effectively.
Could this training be put to other uses so that our soldiers and our veterans could benefit? If people could get the information during their training in psychology, the whole of society would benefit.
