Day 10 of 28, Treating mental fitness as a standard removes the stigma: October 1973. When institutions treat mental fitness as a standard requirement, it removes the stigma of asking for support.
TLDR

Israeli intelligence had indicators of Egyptian troop movements. Analysts dismissed them. The prior year had been quiet. They assumed the patterns meant nothing.
The Yom Kippur War began with a devastating attack. Stress and routine create blind spots. Routine checks make these visible. They normalize looking at what we would rather ignore.
When institutions treat mental fitness as a standard requirement, it removes the stigma of asking for support.
Context
We all run on the same human hardware. Let’s build the support and checks to match the pressure of the job.
