Depression, isolation, loneliness and loss of purpose are common struggles among those transitioning from military to civilian life. Many also face challenges with applying for a civilian job for the first time or reentering the workforce.
However, women veterans may also encounter gender pay gaps, bias against mothers, financial instability, gender-related health concerns, stereotypes about female soldiers, and stress caused by military sexual trauma. Add to these obstacles the frequent lack of a trusted peer network, and one thing is clear: Transitioning to life outside the military can be particularly hard for women veterans.

SGT Charlie Lee SFC Kelly Fuerhoff not to belabor the point, I share some of your heartache. I too was diagnosed with PTSD, Depression, and MST. Women are not the only one's that suffer at the hands of their superiors. Men tend to bottle it up more so than women. I had to admit to my wife of over 44 years my trauma as a soldier in the US Army and the Pysch that wrote up my C&P agreed that I had suffered. So as the author or presenter of your writen opinion/article, it does not give you the right to challenge other people's content and or amount of participation and whether it's valid or not. You don't have the right to cancel other people's opinions or Life experiences. You do not have the right to negate people's viewpoints, who made you God to judge others posts. The only outcome by snapping at people is their reluctance to share any of their life experiences. Snapping at me only provoked me to point out fallacies and pompous authoritarian behavior. Let's see how many people are willing to share now since you just trashed your own article.

MAJ Bob Miyagishima - I get it but literally any time something about assistance for women is posted in any topic some man has to chime in with their pov and it's irritating to hear for, well, all my life.
I never cancelled anyone's opinion. You know what - you sure seem like someone who is a perpetual victim and are constantly finding ways to be the victim. Have the day you deserve.
