These stories reveal a troubling truth that the United States has to face at some point. The past incidents mentioned in both reports, shows that neither the U.S. government, nor the U.S. military is doing enough to insure the best care and resources its U.S. soldiers. The concerns for the mental health of soldiers is increasing as cases of soldiers' horrific actions overseas and at home are continually being reported.
Are military soldiers and personnel receiving adequate counseling as well as being provided with other services to help them deal with issues such as PTSD? didj
Is the military providing the best programs available to combat these unthinkable acts by U.S. soldiers mentioned in the above reports?
Are there programs available for soldiers and their families to help circumvent the re-adjustment issues that soldiers coming back to the states face everyday?
The U.S. government and the military have to answer to these questions and more, it should not take shocking events like that of the massacre in Afghanistan recently for the U.S. military to wake up and realize that it needs to provide more for U.S. soldiers than just military benefits. There needs to be programs and opportunities provided to our soldiers and their families -- to help prevent things like this from happening.
My heart and prayers go out to the many U.S. families that have been greatly affected regarding issues raised in these news reports, as well as praying for those families and victims of the recent massacre, may Jesus bring healing and comfort to those hurting and in need right now.
I am Ralonda Green, and this has been "my-2-cents," Jesus loves you, and signing out!
