Operation Green Hope Foundation was founded in hopes of helping Veterans cope with some of their PTSD issues relating to combat stress through the use of a ground breaking treatment called Exposure Therapy. This means utilizing an innovative and propriety treatment we call
Re-SET ( Recreation – Simulation Exposure Therapy ).
This type of treatment brings an individual veteran into a simulated real life combat experience offering them the ability to face the primary
trigger of stress that started the trauma. Each case is based on the individual treatment goals as defined by each Veteran.
This is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and is absolutely NO cost to the Veteran.
This program was started by a nurse (and champion barrel racer) and her husband's company worked alongside The Gary Sinese Foundation to build a home for a wounded warrior. It is partnered with several companies.

You are correct. It is more a reference to a scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." The problem is evident to others but the injured knight refuses to acknowledge any problem which is often the case with warriors with PTSD. No problem, carry on and then it becomes impossible to continue without changes. This program offers help FREE OF CHARGE. So let's set the Jeb part to the side and acknowledge this program's availability and benefits. It was not tagged politics.

Too little, too late. How many Vets have already taken their lives waiting. Maybe they can make a difference. Lets hope. We just lost another EOD Tech yesterday. Very sad...

Overall I can only agree there's been too little too late but this program is available NOW and may be able to prevent more.
