To answer your second point about medical transitional services, I absolutely agree. The question becomes how we create a structure that follows a person as they transition “out of uniform”, to use that phrase, into civilian life, while dealing with an operational stress injury. Also, adjusting to civilian life is another component that I think often gets lost. So I'd absolutely agree. Create those facilities, structures, and processes. That's the problem.
