Why are you pretending it’s not a concern? Hospitalization over depression is “normalizing mental health” like not putting a gun in your mouth is normalizing proper gun handling. People are only hospitalized for depression when symptoms are so severe you can’t function as a person and/or at active risk for suicide. And right now Fetterman is dealing with said overwhelming depression because of his stroke last year.

The only people accusing others of not “giving a flying fuck about his health” want to keep this man in his senate seat no matter what. Fetterman could be throwing up blood onto the senate floor and Reddit would be cheering on how this is “normalizing cleanup crews”.

There is data on it. Helicopters are inherently dangerous, and they have to practice flying low and fast in the dark, and inserting troops in dense groups. If they don't practice those things, they'll face increased risks on the battlefield. That isn't to say they can't do better with safety, but they have a bona fide need to practice dangerous flying.

Paid supervised leave for the duration of the next 15 years that it will take to self-investigate, only to be found innocent or guilty (in which case said perp will have the chance to first resign with full pension and benefits before guilty finding is announced the following day)
