I’m worried about WW’s pushing of PTSD and the relation of “mental illness” to some states’ gun laws.

There is a stigma in the civilian world against vets that makes it harder for them to find employment. The vast majority of our servicemen and women are honorable, organized, disciplined, hard-working people, but the media has convinced the public that they’re ‘broken’.

WWP is now encouraging this stereotype. By linking vets with the idea of the suicidal alcoholic, they are going to make it even more difficult for our guys to be accepted by civilians.

That’s why my husband and I are putting an end to our monthly donation this month. We’ll find another charity to give our money to.

Didn’t know about that, I’ll have to do some research. I have a vet friend who is hesitant to seek help because possibility of losing his rights.
