Agreed. He deprived them of a husband and father. The Army has extensive services for counseling, adjustment when back from deployment, etc.
His family will be scarred for life from what he did.
Yes...my paternal grandfather hung himself in the family home...it affects generations.
Both the active military and the VA have intense programs to save suicidal folks. All a person has to do is ask.
I don’t understand why the Army sends somebody to so many combat deployments; at some point, that person can never really come back. I also don’t understand why somebody serves in the military AND has a family simultaneously; it would be almost as tragic if he had died in combat (in terms of depriving them of a husband and father). Many marriages don’t survive endless deployments.
Prayers for all involved.
