I read this lengthy article yesterday. My son is a combat vet, so I’m alert to their ongoing battles at home. I cannot begin to describe the incompetent actions and ways of the VA. It’s simply mindboggling.

These kids have been betrayed by the country they fought for.

The prior generations faced the same horrors as do these men and lived with it, so we have to identify what is the glaring difference.

I will offer that the main one is they return to a world where the cannot find work and a way to feel useful and purposeful again and they also see that everything they were told they were fighting for is a facade. The country is led by people who are actively undermining it at every turn. Realizing that their comrades in arms died for nothing. The very people they were told are our enemies and they killed are being let into this country in droves. That is a big paradox.

Without denigrating in any way those who do come back from combat with mental problems, what is the percentage? It was a left-wing lie that all Vietnam vets came back crazy. They’re starting it up again. Or maybe they never quit.

The commie NY TIMES relentlessly sells the “US military is bad, wrong, insane, weak” mantra.

They went to war, America went to the mall.

As a WW II vet one thing that was assuring was that you were guaranteed your job back. Which I used. Also an allowance if using the GI Bill. Where are these for today's vets.

PS I was in a combat infantry outfit and I did not know of any suicide.

If anyone here knows of a vet who needs help, this is an amazing organization. They haven’t lost a vet yet: http://ptsdusa.org/camp-hope/
