re: #404 Dark_Falcon

That effort is already being made. The military has focused strongly on PTSD as has DoVA. But its slow going and it is still facing the immense head wind born of the fact that admitting you have a problem can carry serious consequences most veterans understandably wish to avoid.

I hope you’re not trying to imply that individual veterans’ own sense of pride is keeping them from accepting help. We’ve had this discussion before. The existing programs are mere shadows of what they should be. The more outreach there is, the fewer suicides there will be. The current programs are completely insufficient to meet the needs of returning troops.
