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".

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. SGT Dave Tracy Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:08:29 -0400 2016-06-02T13:08:29-04:00 2016-06-01T18:10:55-04:00
