Good.
NOT GOOD!!!! THIS IS A TRAGEDY!...all the way around.
I will wait to see the story of this veteran.
Most likely he had PTSD and other problems. WE OFFER VERY LIMITED HELP TO THESE VETERANS!!
I was sick when I heard it was an Iraqi vet...I have no problem with the news stating this. It is so sad that the ONLY time the Va increases staff and services is when something like this happens and it hits the news.
The VA now has a hiring freeze on nationally for mental health workers. there are programs, but the waiting lists, and limited psychiatric beds and services are appalling.
And now more Iraqi vets will come home, needing help.
Yep - that is almost a perfect way to die for a killer. I’m glad to hear that he didn’t commit suicide. Soaking wet, standing in a creek at night, trying to figure out a way to climb out, perhaps trying several times but falling back in. With each time getting harder and harder, and more desperate. Yep - sounds like a reasonable punishment for this killer.
OTOH - too bad that he didn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t get help for his pysch. problems.
