How on earth can he still be in charge and so absolutely disconnected from the troops serving under him?<br />It was bad enough families blamed themselves for what the military failed to do but now they end up getting blamed as not being as good as his family!

Same story line, same plot, new pills, new actors, same ol thing. I think the General here ought to tell his opinion to the grieving mother or father or child of the individual who just took their life due to "the lack of intestinal fortitude". Maybe this will replace suicide on the death certificates from now on...nice going General, hey why not take Patton's place and slap the next person you see weeping who just lost a friend....hey here's your sign...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184651619526838214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742487410373715914.post-41070835465089334852013-09-25T20:46:05.698-04:002013-09-25T20:46:05.698-04:00as the parent of a dead marine infantry sgt. , ps...as the parent of a dead marine infantry sgt. , pstd from 2003 iraq combat -<br />HE and his ilk are the blame -sending kids to unnecessary war, no mental health when they came home , and blaming others.

For years I couldn't figure out why people like him couldn't see how dangerous this was but now I have my answer. He must believe that is their fault.<br />So many families, so many veterans suffering all this time and now they end up with this message from this General in denial!Kathie Costoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930848909252282916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742487410373715914.post-90860150121451415792013-09-25T18:35:35.210-04:002013-09-25T18:35:35.210-04:00The ignorant General should apologize and resign ....The ignorant General should apologize and resign ... he is a disgrace to the uniform for blaming our soldiers and veterans for suicide when the cause is the war, and the situation is exacerbated due to stigma (such as the General's), a lack of doctors, and a lack of priorities by our government.
