Most people don't know that the biggest category of things that make troops combat ineffective are diseases and non-battle injuries (DNBI).

The worst part about DNBI is that in many cases, they are utterly avoidable.

Here is a story from an author we featured on the ShadowBlog describing how his unit tragically lost two Marines to an accident at night that should have been preventable.
