I had a commanding officer in the military who was showing signs of dementia.
He was making… let’s say, very bad tactical decisions. In the game way past his prime. But this was a whole different level.
We were going to let his family know but it turns out it was becoming obvious in other areas. He was doing weird things like leaving doors open, eating a lot of sweets, and being paranoid about washing his hands all the time.
Not a good scenario, really crazy condition. Sad for the people that got left to deal with him.
- salt-thrower 5y agoWhat procedures does the military have in place for when a high-ranking officer's mental acuity takes a steep dive? I'm curious about how that plays out.
