Army kills medical research designed to save lives!

Over 320 soldiers volunteered to be in a medical study hailed by the CDC as "one of the best organized [conceptually and operationally] that I have been privileged to collaborate on," the CDC's Dr. William Reeves wrote this summer to Gonzalez's commanders."

The idea drew support from top scientists and won $250,000 in an Army research competition.

But, the study has been KILLED. The information gathered has be destroyed. The author, a colonel with a Bronze Star and a combat surgeon, is under arrest. His office space taken away and converted into a break room.

The study was examining the debilitating impact of stress on recruits. About one out of five recruits fail to complete basic training. The study would have covered that failure, chronic fatigue, Gulf War syndrone, and Post Tramatic Stress Disorder.

Why has the Army stopped the research... into things that hurt the military, it's soldiers, and civilians? It's not like the researchers waterboarded human beings.
