NYPD officers who've been serving in Afghanistan are getting pretty violent, domestically, and the Unit has to race against a *gasp* journalist to get to the bottom of what's going on in this week's Ripped from the Headlines edition of SVU. The Army are very bad, doctors are huge cowards, and journalists may or may not be bottom feeders in this screed where no cows are sacred and no army wife is safe. And before you entertain the conciliatory notion that at least no actors were harmed in the making of this episode, Goliath marked the end of yet another child actor’s on-screen career, and it seems unlikely that it was due to his performance, rather owing to the exceptionally dark things to which he was meant to see and react.Sources:Ripped from my headlines - Mark Benjamin, SalonThe Dark Side of Lariam - David Kohn, CBS NewsNeuropsychiatric Outcomes After Mefloquine Exposure Among U.S. Military Service Members - Angelia A.
