Bet more don't than do.
Where do you get your data from?
Cannot handle demand
Maybe this is why some do not seek help?
A report by advocacy group Veterans for America said the mental healthcare system at Fort Drum was not meeting the demands placed on it and had prepared inadequately for the return of more than 3,500 soldiers from Iraq late last year.
"Even though we knew this group were coming back from their 4th deployment and there would be these problems, we still had massive waits of two months (for appointments)," Veterans for America spokeswoman Adrienne Willis said.
Suicides you don't hear about
Why should treatment even be an option? Every single soldier coming off the boat or plane should be required to be checked out by a shrink with in one week of arrival. No one, not a single soldier should have to wait 2 months for an appointment for anything. If we have to pay a war tax to fund it, so be it. Bush and Cheney started this mess. Lets use some of those oil revenues to pay the cost of treating our vets who saved that oil. OH wait, there are not oil revenues are there. My bad.
