Talk:Military psychology

Kryptos edit

The economy is failing because early scientists believed they could use Calculas and quantaum theories for economic purposes.  In the Federalist papers it talks about Geometry for economic purposes.

If you look at the declaration of Independence, then look at title 26, then look at macro and micro college books, then listen to the debate speeches, then take a look at the bible, you can clearly see that no one person in the world, could possibly know every part of the humanities since the beginning of time. Yet that is what causes a chain reaction to move so quickly.

Especially if you are a man. How would you know during Plato's time or the earliest civilizations that a mistake had been made, that no one would be able to fix. The "greater good" phrase, quality of life...all of those statements clearly show, that it would be impossible to stop a chain reaction if those words existed in any language.

In order for any man or woman to understand, there would be no reason for the word quality to ever exist. And what type of freedom would there really be, if we had to be perfect every second of the day. Leave it to man to square the "creator" for the purpose of giving himself less power. The "dead load" the powers are carrying on their backs are the elephants they put there.

Which would explain all the footnotes, spam, wars, and starving people in the world.

No one is to blame.

Soon people become numb to their feelings, then it becomes a matter of survival.

Religion becomes nothing more than regions divided by geometry.

Fear then turns into hate, and hate that goes on for thousands and thousands of years, turns men into Gods and god (I'M catholic), into to a beast.

Everyone gets boxed into a square, each one thinking the other an animal, the devil, a genius, then those with power begin to hate those without, and those without are kept in the dark. The ones in power talk about transparency for those below, however, I think the T.V. show Buffy the vampire slayer pretty much explains who's been walking around blind all these years. And the Americans, are way to innocent to understand, that we really only know what someone with a whole lotta fear wanted us to know. We were set up to fail from the beginning.

Birth Control, and healthcare issues..would account for those in power killing the children of the world. Same sex and gay people arguments, race issues, all chain reactions we could never begin to comprehend.

Technology just speeds up the decay. Pretty soon we have nothing but frightened children ruling the earth, trying to destroy each other. Emotional Intelligence....puts those in power asleep at the wheel.

The declaration of independence does not allow for human error. Your current IRS program does not allow for human error. And it only allows for one type of filer, which would explain all the programs stuck in loops, millions upon millions of accounting transcripts generating and hidden for years. You have terms written on Wikki (under "the left copyright program). Better known as free software that are supposed to be secured accounting codes. Your LEMs and audit information is all over the place. The real estate collapse, another program showing on the wikki. It would probably take me about a month to figure out who caused it. There actually is something on wikki that shows how it was done.

Someone unloaded their library going back to the 1700's and 1800's at a local bookstore. That would explain all the eggs (ego's) and ID's. The indexes, dashboards, and sacred information that has always been there for us to see.

Someone should check out all the sinkholes on old Welsh Rd.in Willow Grove. And here's a clue, after 250 years of keeping the masses in the dark, anyone in power is truly blind, deaf, and dumb to who and what they are. They are the innocents of the world, in our country, but like a child who has his toy taken from them, they will throw a tantrum sooner or later. I know exactly what is going on behind closed doors. Stephen King's Cugo lives in more houses then you will ever know. And can someone write a new song, a new movie, and a new book.

The world has been set up to fail, and we would have no idea how to fix it. Our generations were born in a box, and then we put ourselves into rings in a box, then we put ourselves into a box with bombs. What god would come down and judge us. And why would he ever create something so beautiful...just to destroy it.

In my heart I believe that he sends angels down from heaven...not to judge...but to help us understand. But you will never see him. There was a movie out called "Children of the Dammed"..The Omen...Children of the Corn..the seventh sign. They are everywhere. I cannot explain it. You cannot bear to lose them. But for those that have turned their backs on the on all the children of the world for so long, when you look in their eyes, you will fill shame, then you will see just how beautiful life is, just how brilliant they are, you cannot bear to be without them. Then everything begins to make sense. And your heart breaks as you look at the world around you. And you will do everything in your power to protect them. They have so much strength and so much love to give.

I can only suggest that our president sees the world differently then we do. And right now he is our greatest strength. And he needs our support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.177.242.131 (talk) 20:16, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

New Additions edit

I added information regarding military men developing substance abuse problems and which branch of the military is more likely to develop these problems. This addition was done under history. --Psychcap (talk) 05:32, 21 November 2022 (UTC) November 20, 2022Reply

I reorganized and cut out some information in the role section. I also added to the end of the feminism paragraph. --Psychcap (talk) 00:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)psychcap 21 October 2022Reply


I have edited the lead section to try and cover more of the information that is covered throughout the article. Here is my sandbox edits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Psychcap/Military_psychology?action=edit --Psychcap (talk) 04:39, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Psychcap 15 October 2022Reply

I will be starting to work on edits for this article. The History section of this article is really well done however the psychology side is a bit lacking. I will be adding content to specific areas being studied within military psychology. Any suggestions are appreciated. The most recent version of the articles changes can be found here with my edits in red.

I have now uploaded changes to the psychology content of the article. I did not touch the History section. Mary2brown (talk) 15:13, 23 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

"As in any organization, mentally disturbed terrorists are a liability" - I think this should be rephrased, as one may infer that for any organization non mentally disturbed terrorists are not a liability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.80.180.142 (talk) 09:13, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

This text may be relevant deleted from operant conditioning edit

In his book, On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, Grossman overviews the main factors influencing individual acts of aggression as:

  • Stanley Milgram's (US Social Psychologist) Killing Factors: include the demands of authority, group absolution, and distance from the victim (including emotional or psychological distancing).
  • Ben Shalit (Israeli military psychologist) Factors: Shalit's Psychology of Conflict and Combat considers tactical circumstances such as available strategies, threat to the killer, and payoff for killer in terms of personal gain and enemy loss.[1]
  • Predisposition of the killer: includes natural predisposition, training, conditioning and recent experiences of the soldier.[2]

Psychological distancing includes physical distance, dehumanizing the enemy (including through propaganda), and the impersonal use of technology such as night vision, drones, and airstrikes. Modern conditioning techniques have had parallel effects on law enforcement firing rates.[3]
