Meanwhile, we are stuck with the astigmatism of being unstable because we are combat vets. I feel like devoting more to Soldiers' mental health would help far more than spreading "awareness". 2016-06-01T18:10:55-04:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 1584377

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I too have wondered if the public awareness campaigns about suicide, PTSD, etc. has had the unintended and undesired effect of coloring the public's view of veterans. And to an extent I think it has, but I have no better solutions regarding how to reach SMs and vets who may have such serious issues. Perhaps its a side effect we all have to live with in hopes that those in trouble can be helped.
