Medicating the military
#4
There's no journalism involved in the BBC articles. The hack or hackette may as well have regurgitated mendacious press releases from Walter Reed and the Pentagon about how fantastically the US Army looks after its boys and girls.

Indeed, I note that there's no journalist credited with writing the pieces, so perhaps the articles were a simple cut-and-paste job from the DoD to the BBC.

I spent more than a decade trying to get documentary films about military PTSD commissioned by the BBC. The bosses were simply not interested in the subject.
