Among our US Veterans, the suicide numbers are staggering. Before we become eager to commit more combat troops in the hotbed that is the Middle East, what, specifically, are you going to do to address this epidemic and how much money will you 'line-item' for this issue in your Budget?
Why is this important?
A rarely discussed National Tragedy is occurring, yet we are silent. The next Commander-in-Chief must address the suicide rate amongst Veterans and include their solution in the Budget. We demand our soldiers fight on distant shores, yet discard them when they return, a disgraceful stain upon our country.
