The object being to not only to bring the discussion to the fore front but also iniate research into how it operates that aspect is being partially addressed in the next Australian contingent on rotation to Afghanistan. As for the Paper itself the Department has taken no action so far despite it being aimed at being Peer reviewed.

Some of us go along believing that stoicism is the answer to life's glum. Your thoughtful piece suggests that there is hope. Thanks for that. Stoicism is a loner's philosophy and it helps mightily to know that there is caring and understanding amid the current flow of derision and petty howls that seems to prevail everywhere. At a time when we take such pleasure in the pain of others, critically bludgeoning each other for every perceived flaw, it is easy to see how the camel’s back can be so fragile. We litigate precipitously, accuse prematurely, act without thinking. We have become bullies, which is a cowardly thing. I am of the opinion that we, all of us, need a little help. Thanks for your clear articulation of the problem. It provided me insight. I appreciate your thoughtful deconstruction of the overload process.
