That's a damn shame and it's not an uncommon story unfortunately. But I'd definately encourage all veterans to be proactive when it comes to their care cause sadly nobody is gonna take better care of you than you. It shouldn't be that way for all they sacrifice but it is and in order for change more vets need to be willing to speak up when their needs aren't being met. I'm sure he had to be feeling left behind and stressed and who knows what else. God bless MSG Coons!
It's a shame that people think one of these parties is better than the other....they are all the same! One of them makes money off of overtaxing us and the other makes money off war! Both are morally wrong and both lead to more war!
absolutly devastating ,,god will be protecting him now,, i hope the family manage to find ,,joy and pride or some solence from this tragic loss, my husband is at walter reed right now , these soliders deserve and need,, BETTER! god bless the troops,, PROUD ARMY WIFE
It's shameful that Bush is a member of the same party as Lincoln, who coined the motto of the Department of Veteran's Affairs; "To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan."
Sad and yes we need to do all we can to help these fine men but with the population of military we have then there will be some who fall through the cracks.
It goes to show that War could affect anyone. This soldier has such great intelligent parents and very caring, so obvious that had a nice upbringing. Add to that that he was handsome and a master seargeant. I do wish to say that precisely why we need to keep track of ALL our troops and not become too confident that if higher ranking all will be OK due to experience. We are human after all. God bless his soul and keep him close for he was not in right mind.
my brother is in the navy now. my uncle was a marine in vietnam. my grandfather was in the army in ww2. it is appalling that we aren't fighting to take better care of those fighting for us - regardless if we agree with war or not, our servicemen and women deserve respect
Very sad
