McCain: Military personnel's 100-hour work weeks must stop

A hero that should have retired many years ago.

I find that quite interesting for sevl reasons. I don't do it anymore, since I became ill, and disabled, however, when I'd been in residency, though we've long since shut my allied health doctoral license, the rule was under something called the Bell law, I believe. That limited residents to, ostensibly, 80hr/wk, to prevent errors due to exhaustion, which had been written up many times that I'd seen. I actually got spoken with to be asked, quite explicitly, how many hours I'd been kept after doing call all night, taking my turn. Now, fortunately, where I was, at all the hospitals I trained at, the rule was actually quite strictly enforced, thankfully, for the most part. I can't even begin to imagine 100 hr/wk, of course, that, to me just strikes me as totally out there, I understand the reasons, and, also thankfully, while I'd been in, I'd never had to endure that, so I can only obv comisserate for those who unfortunately would need to, of course, hope that was at least of some interest, I'd be most eager for any thoughts, man py thanks.

It own't stop until the jackwagons in DC (the whole lot of them) quit bickering about party politics and fund the military where it needs to be. I am not saying we need to be where we were during the Reagan years but get us close. We are losing personnel at a rate faster than we can replace and train them which causes someone else to pick up the slack and get the mission done because we won't let it fall...that isn't in our DNA.
