POPSMore Army Suicides Than Combat Deaths in Jan. Kind of a follow up to my Friday post . The problem is that the Army can't afford to diagnose Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, since PTSD patients can't return to combat. So they diagnose other, less serious disorders and treat them with pills. Not only do the pills come with suicide warnings, but they're "treating" a problem these troops don't have. So there's a double-whammy; troops with PTSD aren't being treated for PTSD, but other disorders, and the antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications are psychotropic drugs that come with risk of suicidal thoughts. We are, quite literally, killing our troops by pretending to treat disorders they don't actually have -- while not treating the disorder they do.

POPSAtheists aren't skeptical enough and... ...the best skeptics are actually theists. The agnostics ski down the mountain into the woods, searching for hard evidence on the basis of which to decide whether God exists—which is very odd, given that a moment ago they were standing here with us, ready to climb as declared skeptics. Agnostics, plainly, are wafflers in their skepticism: As the team gets going, they U-turn back to the foothills, where every true skeptic says there is nothing to find. They do not care about the truth. But even more astonishing than that, the atheists have just gone home. They are not down in the valley looking for evidence; they are not looking at all. They have packed in the science without lifting a boot, as if the summit were already taken, the question answered.
