    A "Mood Ring" For Brain Trauma

    By Posted on 8.7.2008 3 Comments

    The September Popular Science feature "Shock to the System" (on newsstands next week), discusses the hidden danger of brain trauma faced by soldiers exposed to bomb blasts. The article reveals that one in five American soldiers serving in Iraq may be suffering from a brain injury—not from direct contact with explosions, but from the effects of bomb blast waves that can cause life-threatening damage at the cellular level, even from distances previously considered safe.

    It is terribly sad that the majority of military based nations believe that they need the most powerful military possible in order to minimize or totally prevent the unwanted aggression seemingly always available from another military based nation. Violence begets violence but is very necessary for all military systems no matter if those who are involved are exposed to the unwanted damages such as those highlighted in the "Shock to the System" article. Well, as found in the book "True Freedom - The Road to the First Real Democracy" there actually is far better alternative to the national defense systems for most nations. Not only can the need for the military types mostly used today be eliminated the national defense for the nations which want to participate can be improved and at a far lower cost. Just think, the U.S.A. could actually eliminate the personnel damages and their related fighting costs created by having so many human animals go off to fight and the nation be far more secure at the same time. Take a look at the Military Defense System laid out in this book and you will learn that there actually is a far better approach in dealing with a nation's national defense, both when it comes to having the best defense system possible and at a far lower cost than the all of the past and present national defense systems.
