Wilkie: 'Trump is the first president since 1890s' to recognize veteran suicide crisis

Are we buying this crap?

In 2015, Obama also signed a measure into law to combat the veteran suicides after increased attention since the peak of the post-9/11 wars. The bill was named after Clay Hunt, a Marine from Texas. He killed himself when he was 28.
In 2007, former President George W. Bush signed a suicide prevention bill into law, which required mental health training for VA staff and a suicide prevention counselor to be set at each health facility. The law was named after Joshua Omvig, a 22-year-old Iraq War veteran who killed himself in 2005.

Paul Rieckhoff, who founded Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonprofit veterans advocacy group, challenged Wilkie’s comment on Trump’s efforts with veterans suicide.

“Nobody has done enough, but it's a lie to say nobody has done anything but Trump,” Rieckhoff said. “Anyone who’s spiking the ball on suicide is way out of touch.”
