Not only are our troops being killed, but those who survive are mentally distressed to an extreme degree and ignoring them is absolutely wrong. |
Will, again, this is nothing new, and it's not news. It's a tragedy, but it isn't even unexpected. There is always a higher rate of depression and suicide among combat veterans. There always will be.
You're in the extreme minority position on this board in that you're actually able to do something about the problem. The rest of us are neither educated enough nor licensed to be of any help.
