Provides the only comprehensive treatment on the subject of military accidents and their immense social and economic costGoes behind the scenes to explain how Pentagon blunders and tragic circumstances combine to cause accidents that killBy the former senior safety scientist of the U.S. Air ForceOver the past twenty years, more than 15,000 members of the U.S. armed forces have died in onduty mishapscompared with fewer than 1,000 killed by enemy action. But when such accidents occur, the military imposes a rigid code of silence. Commanders task subordinates, who are often unfamiliar with accident investigation procedures, to investigate these tragedies behind closed doors. This dysfunctional process almost guarantees that the mishap victims themselves are found to be at fault. Overlooked, and therefore uncorrected, problems soon lead to additional tragedies.From an expert who observed the system from the inside, Silent Knights reveals some of the militarys bestkept secrets. Alan E. Diehl explains the complex causes of military accidents in laymans terms and helps readers understand the dangers of undervaluing safety, health, ergonomics, and training in the military. He describes how coverups have long caused countless deaths and wasted billions of dollars while degrading defense effectiveness. Dr. Diehl calls for a new 'GI Bill of Rights' that improves the safety and health of military personnel and establishes an independent agency to investigate military accidents. This book is for anyone concerned about Americas defense and the wellbeing of the men and women who bravely provide it.
