From an article on the subject of suicide:
On the subject of military suicide, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen states that “The most important ingredient is leadership: aggressive, focused, listening leadership. Because…in the toughest situations, when nothing else seems to work, leadership breaks through.”

Agree 100%

What a dumb statement... the two situations are completely different.

Seau wasn't directly involved on a day to day basis with the Chargers organization under AJ Smith, whereas Belcher WAS a currently player in the Pioli-led Chiefs organization.

I could of been a normal poster but have not so since I have been thru this.

/windowlickers is basically the same as the previous statement being in quotes followed by -windowlickers

What? It didn't help if anything that may of been what drove him off the deep end. Just IMO. We will never know.

got it thanks..

Your acting like you didn't know it was a joke is a joke, right?

And what degree does Admiral Mullen have that makes him an expert on the subject? Sounds like typical military leadership hoo-rah rhetoric.

Look, it's easy for us to all sit here and point fingers at the GM we hate. But's it's also ridiculously speculative to make claims about what control the GM or coaches had over this situation. For ****'s sake, the guy's mother and girlfriend obviously didn't even catch on.

This is such an absurd talking point. As if Scott ****ing Pioli was best positioned to notice or intervene in the emotional health of Jovan Belcher.

nope.. i had no idea what / windowlicker means...

It was a post in parody of the stupid things I've seen posted by stupid people on this subject.

I guess your standards for leadership are weak. The fact is: no organization is more familiar with suicide than the Army is, and the army is attacking it starting it with leadership with positive results.

This they all missed the signs. For most there all always signs.

thanks appreicate the explaination for the new guy!

good grief
