that means in one second, how far downrange? six kilometers. six kilometers, that's pretty far in one second. that's gonna be... [whistles] way out to here. is it really gonna be up there? - no. - no. it's gonna be where? - it's gonna be underneath. - underneath. how many people be knowing how far underneath? or how many people said, "i don't know." i mean, at six kilometers per second, i don't know that one. come on, how far underneath, gang? - five. - five meters. okay, so it's really gonna be like this. so i gotta dig. i gotta dig a hole. i gotta get that shovel again. now we're gonna dig. notice i don't have to dig so deep? now the path it takes is like this. let's suppose i fire it at 7 1/2 kilometers per second. it's fractions. can you do fractions, 7 1/2 per second? how far downrange at the end of one second? - 7 1/2. - 7 1/2. that's about here, right? is it really gonna be up there? it's gonna be underneath. how far underneath? i still gotta dig. i wonder, maybe there's some speed i could fire whereby i don't be needing a shovel anymore

in addition, i change numerous clinicians who have actually used this downrange. i note they're pursue have used this in afghanistan, a rock, and five sessions in the span of about two weeks to get someone functioning in being able to stay in the military. one of my favorite stories, from afghanistan because he wanted to stay in the military. they were able to get him out to me with the contingency. we treated his posttraumatic stress at the end. he no longer had ptsd the really fine a sworn affidavit saying he did not have ptsd. a ticket. he was sent home, and within three days was on a plane back to germany to begin reintegration with his unit for. that young man is still in the marines today functioning as a warrior because that is a career that he wanted. he does not have ptsd. i really want to get across the message that it is a live debilitating event only if we allow it to be. if we remove the mess, we can get people care that will allow them to continue in a live trajectory if they wanted to have in the first. whether that be in the military or any other a

i trained numerous dod clinicians to use this downrange. have used this and afghanistan and iraq and in five sessions in the span of about two weeks to get someone functioning. one of my favorite stories of a marine who spoke to me in my program, he wanted to stay in the military, they're able to get him out to me that we treated his posttraumatic stress and sign the worn affidavit saying he did not have ptsd. they took it. he was at home for a long weekend and spent three days back to germany. he is still in the marines today and functioning fully as a warrior. that is the clear he wanted and he did not have ptsd. it is a life debilitating event only if we allow it to be. we could get them to continue on the left projector they want. whether that is the military or any other avenue. equity like to close out on the final figures of comparing the different types of clinicians who went through that treatment. men and women can be treated equally well. all of them fight effectively in terms of the outcome. again, we took inventory because we k

our committee has interviewed a number of people, including those downrange, people both in libya and benghazi. but as i said earlier, we, for the most part, have not interviewed people, the exception being general ham, although carter ham was at the pentagon on september 11. do you believe it is appropriate for us to interview other officers and enlisted personnel that serve with you that day as part of our discovery of what they believe could have been done, not just in what we military people call the to shop, but also in the three shop and so on? >> sure, i think if it's any information that gives the most well-rounded picture, they are important to obtain. one of the questions, as we fan out here, one of the questions i have for you is, your primary job is knowing the risk, knowing who the bad guys are and where they are and knowing what might face them. is that correct? so your expertise is not in the -- >> yes. >> so your expertise is not in the operational response of what reef you lose will wear and react with in time. however, you are intimately familiar with the risk of ext

our committee has interviewed a number of people, including those downrange, people poking libya and benghazi. but as i said earlier, we, for the most part, have not interviewed people, the exception being general ham, although carter ham was at the pentagon on september 11. do you believe it is appropriate for us to interview other officers and enlisted personnel that serve with you that day as part of our discovery of what they believe could have been done, not just in what we military people call the to shop, but also in the three shop and so on? >> sure, i think is any information that gives the most well-rounded picture, they are important to obtain. one of the questions, as we fan out here, one of the questions i have for you is, your primary job is knowing the risk, knowing who the bad guys are and where they are and knowing what might face them. is that correct? so your expertise is not in the operational response of what reef you lose will wear and react with in time. however, you are intimately familiar with the risk of extremist groups in egypt, libya, and throughout north

i had spent two tours downrange. i knew that i had combat stress teams.mebody somewhere in my career had told me the importance of getting combat stress teams to men in combat who had gone through traumatic events. for some reason, i gave them a priority of aviation assets. they were always there when i had a platoon that had a bad day and lost comrades in battle. i knew about tbi, for my football coach had told me. shake it off and get back in the game. we had more soldiers wounded, 36%, with dramatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress than the physical wounds i had seen in my two tours in iraq. if i jump forward, that number increased to 67%. 67% had traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress. i don't trust those numbers. i don't trust those numbers for a number of reasons. i have learned that the instruments to diagnose, i would call them blunt instruments. i would say you need to transport yourself around two years into the past three that is where we are today. think what we knew 50 years ago, that is where we are. we don't understand the bio

i spent two tours downrange. i knew that i had combat stress teams and somebody somewhere in my career had told me the importance of getting combat stress teams to manage combat if you were to fall down today are given a bike accident report to the hospital and you received had trauma, you would be given but if it glasco, toast test. based on your answer of questions, you would be told you have mild, moderate or severe germanic rain injury. when you look at the people, they are not ct positive, they don't have bleeding. they have back at work on monday and don't have a problem going forward. others are told they have mild traumatic brain injury and cognitive issues six months after the fact ever able to go back to work. so i called these very blunt instruments because i'm a liberal arts major and i'm allowed to do that. but two colleagues are going to come up today might take exception with me. but i would like to close by giving you a few of the things that i've learned. number one, posttraumatic stress is treat
