Yes, I'm well aware of what happens during bootcamp brainwashing... (Thank you) quote: ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri quote: ORIGINAL: EsotericLady I believe kdsub was using the word "reprogramming" to express the change between living life in a war zone and being back home, Desider. : ) The re-programming occurs in the beginning, at boot camp. It turns us ordinary schlubs into the best military in the world. Or, are you going to tell me that there is no mental/physical break down involved in training to make each one of you more alike? Yes, he was. However, when I first used it, I was referring to that done at the beginning of training. Part of the training is to be less human, and more of a soldier. Different types of thinking.

Why were you bringing up that kdsub was talking about a different reprogramming? I started the reprogramming thing in this thread. He didn't. It should have been obvious that I didn't think he and I were talking the same thing, so I clarified. Then, you respond. I'm just not sure why. And, I'm not sure of the tone of your latest response (it could vary), so I'm just going to apologize if my response to you offended you in any way. That was not my intention.

Every day over 200 people are shot in the U.S. Every day over 80 of those people die. This man is simply another statistic and his death is no sadder or less sad than that of the other 80 people who died the same day that he did. 80 families lost a loved one on the day he died. His death just happened to make the news. What is happening in this country is nothing short of tragic. And this man is only one very small example. You bring up a very good point, there is still a lack of details on what happened. But I too am wondering how it did happen. I am not formular with SEAL training, it does last about a year. I am sure it does include training in dealing with an armed opponent and both men were shot a point blank range....it is curious.

If someone unexpectedly punches you in the face, or draws a gun and begins shooting, it's very hard to react to. There's a brief moment of surprise, hell a much longer moment for someone untrained in violence, where you just can't react. Where your brain is trying to go from calm to danger. In this instance, it seems that the shooter unloaded into his two victims at point blank range, and then left quickly. Had he stayed and tried to shot up the range, I imagine that he'd have been met with a hail of gunfire fairly quickly, once the shock wore off. I agree that what's happening in this country is tragic. I see it as a tragedy when people exploit the deaths of children and war heroes for political gain. You tossed out some numbers, 200 shot, 80 dead. Does it say anywhere whether those shot were the victim or the aggressor? Because that makes a huge difference to me.

Mike, you might want to relax a little here. You're not likely to get your desired info anyway. And, if you do, it'll be delivered with a twist. To some, we need to reduce the number of gun suicides, but the number of suicides isn't the issue. The issue is that a gun was used. It also doesn't matter how many of those gun deaths/injuries were a result of gang violence, illegal guns, already banned guns, or guns that won't be banned by the latest political knee jerk reaction.

If guns were already out (they were on a firing range), and the shooter was behind the other two, there may not have been any knowledge that a gun was being aimed. I haven't read any account of which way they were shot, other than point-blank. Yes, he was a SEAL, and I don't doubt their training. The shooter, though, was also military, though I'm not sure what branch or anything like that. It's entirely possible, too, that Chris saw the guy draw his gun and was trying to talk him down while approaching in a non-threatening manner, when he got shot. If someone has a gun drawn and isn't within reach, it can be difficult to unarm the man before getting shot. SEALs are incredible, but there are limits to what a human being can do with the present level of technology.

Is "reprogramming" called "debriefing" when guys come back stateside after serving in wartime?

SEALs are incredible, but there are limits to what a human being can do with the present level of technology. Eddie Ray Routh, is a marine, there were two victims Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield. There is a report that Routh may have PTSD and had trouble with alcohol, and was hospitalized twice (for what I do not know), also there seem to be trouble with Routh and his family which was the reason Routh mother contacted Chris Kyle. Robbery may have been the motive, Routh did take Chris truck, said to have told his sister he "traded his soul for the truck" and Routh planed to leave the state to avoid capture. The rumors are flying. It is true as I pointed out that Chris Kyle had no training in working with mental illness, let alone substance abuse. He may, although with good intent, got involved in something he should not have, what happen is what I wish to know. I am also having trouble seen how technology is involved....

Glad everything was as I had hoped. I think debriefing is more about after-the-fact recon and intel than it is bringing someone back from the warfront to a more civilian setting. I don't know what the protocols are for that, or if there even are any. Many people have difficulty assimilating back into civilian life, though.

That was my point. We have yet to develop the ability to instantaneously travel from one spot to another, so if Routh was not within reach, all the SEAL training Chris had may not have been worth a damn in that interaction. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry for the confusion. The gun shoots were reported at point blank, it was close, how close we may never know, but I think Ron Paul has a good idea about this "Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense" I think another part of the above statement is inapproiate. http://news.yahoo.com/ron-pauls-puzzling-critique-murdered-seal-chris-kyle-072000026.html

No matter how well you're trained, no one is perfect. No one can be 100% "on" all the time. Even a SEAL is going to relax and let their guard down. When you're at a range, the only one with a gun in their hand is the person on the line shooting. When you're not shooting, your gun should be unloaded, cleared, and on the bench/shelf, and you should be back a few feet away from the shooter. Now if you're standing there, with no weapon, several feet away, and the shooter decides to turn and kill you, there's not a whole lot you can do.
