I know that I continue to repeat this point, but mental health challenges and personal struggles cannot be addressed unless society acknowledges they exist. Our society has made great strides in acknowledging the challenges of minority populations and of women in the past years, and this cultural shift is affecting institutions like the armed forces. I believe that is increasing our ability to acknowledge these things.
In the past, society writ large, including society's institutions like the armed forces, has silenced behaviour of this kind and people talking about behaviour of this kind. I'm very glad that this is changing now.
