As I was saying the POVERTY and landlord abuses heaped on the military is hardly an excuse to "off yourself." But the thinking from the White House, The Pentagon and on down has got to change and I am talking real change, not this jive talk. Yrue story is, Obama's afraid of the Department of Defense, and he leaves all "those things" alone to gather dust and mold. And, as a result our troops -yes the women and men that are doing our fighting and red cross work while getting shocked taking a shower or getting evicted back home because the military failed to pay-on-time is inexcusable. So, is it any wonder that military personnel are take the worst-way-out? Folks, they are doing "it" because they figured out that nobody cares. The caliber of professionals in the military from the dentists, physicians or the others is and has always been second rate -at best. Go into the army with bad teeth and the dentist will pull them. No, you will not get a pair of dentures for at least a year. That is the way its done in the military and why the saying is, "There's a right way. A wrong way. And, a military way! Now maybe you know why the suicides are increasing and will continue as long as you keep stressing the soldiers to the max. Watch them stumble around on tv. It's bad and sad. Look, leave three-years between deployment, pay on time, make certain when a soldier is deployed into a combat zone he or she cannot be evicted for late rent(s) and watch the mental health begin to "heal." Yes, its that simple but try finding a politico or a General to enact it. If it were a tax, Obama would be all for it - 30 -
