- REBECCAFRIEDMAN, on 02/13/2009, -0/+35Even thinking about Yoda makes me feel less stressed.
- MarkusX, on 02/13/2009, -0/+27Very interesting approach to help with "operational stress".
Btw.
"The production, being shot at..." is a very unfortunate choice of words, considering the topic. - mojito, on 02/13/2009, -0/+20Stress leads to anger. Anger leads to fear. Fear leads to The Dark Side. I sense much stress in you.
- kaoitik, on 02/13/2009, -0/+18Yes, we have a military.
No, we do not live in igloos. - TheRedeemer, on 02/13/2009, -3/+20There's only one thing I thought when I read the headline:

Yoda to Bush, on the search for WMDs and Bin Laden. - Chompy, on 02/13/2009, -0/+16Suck it up, you must. Crying like a baby, you are. Smack a bitch, must Yoda?
- Zervaman, on 02/13/2009, -0/+15Help you I can, yes.
- michaelpinto, on 02/13/2009, -0/+13This from the person who submits "The Top 5 Celebrity Blog Rants Of All Time"? I'll grant you that this isn't the deepest story in the universe but it is submitted in the MOVIES section under ENTERTAINMENT. And in the last 30 days you've dugg 321 stories in the ODD STUFF section with deep headlines like "Evil Grasshopper Time Lord Devours the 4th Dimension". Good grief Charlie Brown...
- dizzythegreat, on 02/13/2009, -0/+9Oh snap, history'd
- velveetaavenger, on 02/13/2009, -0/+8Around the survivors, a perimeter create!
- angryfirelord, on 02/13/2009, -0/+7Trap, it is.
- platipuz, on 02/13/2009, -0/+6Most awesome, this is.
- Saitekc, on 02/13/2009, -0/+5Yeah, and contrary to popular belief, it's amazingly well trained. We have small amount of armed forces, but the one's we do have are the top in their profession. I know and have met quite a few of them, more recently, members of CFB Petawawa in Ontario. Great people
- michaelpinto, on 02/13/2009, -0/+5Done! But don't be grumpy when you're drowning in shouts related to star trek, comic books and anime...
- Zervaman, on 02/13/2009, -2/+7reading comprehension fail
- CTK14A, on 02/13/2009, -1/+6Best part of you down crack of mama's ass ran. Brown stain on mattress ended up.
- inactive, on 02/13/2009, -0/+4Very well said.
And personally I would much rather have a well trained professional 40 year old soldier beside me than some 18 year old whose only choice was to join the army. - Acill, on 02/13/2009, -0/+4It is sad how we deal with this. I'm an American, and was over in Afghanistan for a year. My return consisted of getting on militry trasport to Kuwait, then a commercial flight back home. While in Kuwait i had a single doctor ask me how I felt and if I had any problems to report. At the time I just wanted to get home, now several months later the stress of being there has set in. Its strange to have it come after being gone. The sad thing is now I have to jump through hoops to prove its related to my time in Afghanistan.
- hellraisinazn, on 02/13/2009, -0/+4oh the council was impressed of course
could he bring balance to the force? - 80min700mb, on 02/13/2009, -1/+4Speak for yourself! I love my igloo! My polar bear is a little tough on mileage though..
- sildude, on 02/13/2009, -0/+3Suck a golf ball through a garden hose I bet you can hmmm.
- seventhc, on 02/13/2009, -0/+3Dr.1: I don't know why he is still so stressed out.
Dr2: Did you show him the video of Yoda?
Dr1: Yes, yes I did, we even watched the trilogy but all to no avail.
Dr2: Hmmm, Meditate on this I will. - metroidragon, on 02/13/2009, -0/+3I was planning on writing a proper debate about respecting the people who put their lives on the line for you, but I think I'll suffice with just saying you're a moron.

- RedSepher, on 02/13/2009, -0/+3Smack a bitch, it seems I must... Yeeessss
- zantos420, on 02/13/2009, -0/+3"operational stress"
I don't like words that hide the truth. I don't words that conceal reality. I don't like euphemisms, or euphemistic language. And American English is loaded with euphemisms. Cause Americans have a lot of trouble dealing with reality. Americans have trouble facing the truth, so they invent the kind of a soft language to protest themselves from it, and it gets worse with every generation. For some reason, it just keeps getting worse. I'll give you an example of that. There's a condition in combat. Most people know about it. It's when a fighting person's nervous system has been stressed to it's absolute peak and maximum. Can't take anymore input. The nervous system has either (click) snapped or is about to snap. In the first world war, that condition was called shell shock. Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables, shell shock. Almost sounds like the guns themselves. That was seventy years ago. Then a whole generation went by and the second world war came along and very same combat condition was called battle fatigue. Four syllables now. Takes a little longer to say. Doesn't seem to hurt as much. Fatigue is a nicer word than shock. Shell shock! Battle fatigue. Then we had the war in Korea, 1950. Madison avenue was riding high by that time, and the very same combat condition was called operational exhaustion. Hey, were up to eight syllables now! And the humanity has been squeezed completely out of the phrase. It's totally sterile now. Operational exhaustion. Sounds like something that might happen to your car. Then of course, came the war in Viet Nam, which has only been over for about sixteen or seventeen years, and thanks to the lies and deceits surrounding that war, I guess it's no surprise that the very same condition was called post-traumatic stress disorder. Still eight syllables, but we've added a hyphen! And the pain is completely buried under jargon. Post-traumatic stress disorder. I'll bet you if we'd of still been calling it shell shock, some of those Viet Nam veterans might have gotten the attention they needed at the time. I'll betcha. I'll betcha.
RIP george carlin - Murdats, on 02/13/2009, -1/+4yeah but he is doing that for work, he doesn't want to actually read stories like that on digg.
- a117, on 02/13/2009, -0/+2add you I will not...
- Natitude, on 02/13/2009, -1/+3This just doesn't really seem to make sense
- inactive, on 02/13/2009, -1/+3This is the best we can do?
- cmaxster, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1Well I don't know about you, eh, but my igloo village must of been the last to get this news. *****, brb, the polar bears are trying to eat my children again. *grabs hockey stick*
- Chompy, on 02/13/2009, -1/+2What about ice hockey and maple syrup?
- inactive, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1Had to cover this in our world issues class.
Not only is it patronizing, but how would Yoda help at all?
"Ignore best friends head being blown off before your eyes you must!" - jeremymccurdy, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1Yay Weird Al!
- hoist0that0rag, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1Great, an even dumber half ass gimmick by a government who is really only interested in this "stress relief" crap so as to have something to point to when taken to task by the media and soldiers' families.
How about paying your military people better, or not screwing up their pay with crap bureaucracy, or *gasp* giving them the right tools that work so they can accomplish their missions. How about better long-term health care plans that you don't need a team of lawyers to make sense of?
But no, they shoot a video of a little green dude saying obvious ***** and call it a day. - americangenius, on 02/14/2009, -0/+1use the force
- LeonHRodriguez, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1I will meditate, then I will destroy you!
- hadessniper, on 02/13/2009, -2/+2I was just having a joke, I'm from Wisconsin most of the rest of the U.S. think we're Canadian anyway.
- sdellboy, on 02/13/2009, -2/+2I suspect one comedy mis-use of the Yoda/yoga combination would have been enough for us all to have got the joke....
- tgenese, on 02/14/2009, -0/+0It's weird to think that fictional characters can help with "Battle Fatigue" etc. for soldiers returning to civilian life but some psychologist must have done the research…
"Do or Do Not! There is no try!"
P.S. – Carlin Rules! - rpapi100, on 02/13/2009, -3/+2article mentioning Yoda + Digg = a flurry of yoda-style comments... how original and unexpected...
That said: ''Nini-wani-nini-bobo''
2 internets for the Star Wars geek who can identify who I'm quoting. - dikky, on 02/13/2009, -1/+0i worked on the edmonton garrison decommissioning weapons. Most of the military in the building were fat, but these were old reservists
- atomic811, on 02/13/2009, -5/+4Stress ๏̯͡๏﴿
- Plumhead, on 02/13/2009, -4/+2THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND TOO!
- SaucyJack, on 02/13/2009, -2/+0Lose it here, in world of hurt you be.
- Innovine, on 02/13/2009, -3/+1whats with a bit of stress. we're talking about professional killers. let them be stressed about it.
- PrimeNewsCenter, on 02/13/2009, -9/+4Yoga really does help relieve strees. I go the Wii Fit and the yoga works so good, never thought yoga really would work until the Wii Fit
