Codependent of the Month: The U.S. Army
Codependent of the Month: The U.S. Army. If the incident in Haditha proves true, we can look to soldiers with symptoms of alcoholism as the source of the atrocities. According to the Los Angeles Times, at least one prisoner told investigators that “he frequently smelled alcohol on the guards’ breath in the cellblock where most of the abuses occurred”at Abu Ghraib (June 13, 2004). Who doubts that alcohol and other-drug addiction wasn’t at the root of Viet Nam atrocities, particularly My Lai. Due to the possible misbehaviors of a few, all U.S. soldiers will be subjected to “ethics training.”Unfortunately, such training offers no benefit for those in whom the biological processing of alcohol damages the seat of reason and logic, the brain’s neo-cortex.
