Thank you, Chair.
Colonel, you talked about how the whole program here was designed to assist in the recovery of people who have both physical and mental needs. I'm at a real loss here to understand how it is that discharging someone who has been in service for nine and a half years, has been diagnosed with PTSD, and has been unable to work as a result, assists in their recovery, for someone who's looking forward to not having a pension, being out in a few months, and really feeling hopeless. I really can't understand why you can't figure out a way to include someone in the service until that 10 years is reached, so they'd at least have some security afterwards.
Can you comment on that, please? I'm really at a loss here.
