The birds and the bees…
…chirping and buzzing, the flowers, the beautiful waterfall, the wind whispering through the leaves, and bombs echoing while the machineguns rattle!!!
Take a look at this.
Is it just me or the whole concept is a bit strange?! Soothing sounds in war zones? I dunno. Guess if I were there I’d rather not have nice nature sounds pumped in my ears while I was asleep. I’d rather be awaken by any strange sound than be lulled by MusiCure.
And if those soldiers are on the limit of their stress levels, shouldn’t they be pulled back? Or if that is not possible, wouldn’t it be better to let them steam off with martial arts or other activity involving strenuous exercise and mind control?
Come to think of it… aren’t they soldiers to start with? Shouldn’t they have been trained to cope with such situations to start with?

Oh my god, forunally we got a new goverment, wich has made the most surpriseing statement the all norwegian troops will be pulled out of both afghanistan and iraq(!), except(lol) one norwegian soldier in the iraqi nato force:)The last statement is really laughable; cant make out if it is a duty-thingey, or if its a fuck you to modern nato or the war on terror escalating to insane levels... lol anyway:)
isa, isae: Hope the new government spokesman words weren't: "Except for that damned soldier boy who married the beautiful girl who never wanted to date me!!!"
isis: Without making any remarks on the fairness on this war against the phantom WMDs, one thing still remains: they are supposed to be soldiers, they are supposed to have volunteered. Soldiers fight wars, it sort of goes with the job...
If they gave all the soldiers one of those pillows instead of a gun, that would be my kind of war.
viking: That means you'd prefer those soldiers to die, right? After all the other side doesn't carry pillows. I am against war. This or any other for all that matters. But if a government deploys troops they'd better be prepared and equipped to the task. What seems to me here is that those guys weren't prepared from the beginning.
They need lavender oil and stress therapy.
Dcver, check out Michael Yon's blogspot, a writer in Iraq, he tells a different point of view lots of time, not all war.
GG: Thank you for the tip, I've checked it and will be going back there when I get the time to read the archives.
Yes, it's a strange concept. Speaking as a former soldier I'd find that more distracting than helpful.
isis: I'd rather not, believe me.
bent: Anybody with some decent training would agree it is more distracting.
GG: Can you post that blogger's link?
