by BRIG. GEN. WILLIAM C. MENNINGER, USA MILITARY psychiatry differs from civilian psychiatry in that the Army must be totally responsible for a man — not only for his food and clothing, but especially for his ability to participate in his particular mission. Consequently, when a man did not fulfill his function, the Army had to find the cause and, if possible, remedy it. In many instances the cause lay in his personality and in his emotional difficulties. Since there is a human tendency to retreat into illness under stress, it was not surprising to find that many men became ill when they were unable to meet the demands of the new life. Military psychiatry differs also in quality from civilian psychiatry. In the Army much more effort and time are invested in a preventive psychiatryan attempt to keep men healthy and to seek out causes for poor morale.

Federal judge whose son was killed in ambush: “My son’s death cannot be in vain”
[This story originally aired on February 20.] In July 2020, Daniel Anderl, the son of federal Judge Esther Salas and attorney Mark Anderl, was shot dead by a gunman at the front door of the family's New Jersey home. Daniel Anderl, 20, took a bullet to his chest trying to protect his parents. By the time Judge Salas came to the door, the killer was gone. Her husband, Mark, was wounded. "I have direct evidence that he died heroically, that he had a holy death," says David Oakley, Daniel Anderl's godfather and a family friend. The stranger who came to Judge Salas' door had been holding a package, posing as a deliveryman. Just eight days earlier, a chillingly similar incident took place in California. When attorney Marc Angelucci came to his door to sign for a package, he was also shot dead. "He was just a down-to-earth, at the center of his soul a good-hearted person," Marc's friend, Cassie Jaye, tells CBS News correspondent Tracy Smith. "[Sighs] I was trying to make … [Read more...] about Federal judge whose son was killed in ambush: “My son’s death cannot be in vain”

Police confiscate illegal tank from man who hoarded guns and kept fully-grown crocodile for a pet
Russian authorities have confiscated a World War II tank from the head of a "military-patriotic" organization after he ran himself and two children over with it. The incident took place on the St. Petersburg waterfront, where Pavel Baranenko, the proud owner of a Soviet T-60 tank, offered beachside rides for 300 rubles ($4.40), according to investigators. After taking two customers aboard in late April, Baranenko hit a snag and fell from the vehicle as his two customers tumbled over the front. "The court has ruled to confiscate and transfer in the possession of the Russian Federation, the T-60 tank, which is in the possession of the accused," said a statement from the joint press service of St. Petersburg's courts, state news agency RIA Novosti reported on Thursday. Footage of the incident taken by multiple witnesses on the beach shows the passengers struggling to keep their balance as the tank cleared a large, sandy bump. The bounce of the landing T-60 then seemingly sent the … [Read more...] about Police confiscate illegal tank from man who hoarded guns and kept fully-grown crocodile for a pet
