It saddens me to hear that. I understand it, from your perspective and from many veterans' perspectives, but it shouldn't be that way.
You mentioned the experience you had, which led you to have some thoughts about ending it all. I'm sure you have friends who, unfortunately, weren't able to battle through it like you were, and did do that. Every veteran we meet seems to have friends who have done that.
Do you think those losses, at least in many cases, were preventable, if our government didn't treat our veterans the way they do?
