Agreed. Soldiers should be watched and taken care of mentally instead of just sending them home to adapt.

They've already served their country, I doubt the government cares less after that point. It's really a shame.

How about after serving in war you can get help for free for as long as you need it?

Or, the option that good societies choose and offer help to [i]anyone[/i] who needs it without bankrupting them. Seriously, doesn't the NHS cover this shit?

The military doesn't care about anyone, active duty OR retired.

For a guy trained to kill people, he sure doesn't know how to kill himself.

War isn't as glorified as you all think it is. It's a really depressing thing to do. All the Call of Duty players who get so jacked up on it come back severely fucked up.

Poor guy. The war must have really fucked him up.
