“Our goal is simple: to save lives. Veterans who are in crisis should receive help immediately. Far too many Veterans have fallen victim to suicide, roughly 20 every day. Far too many families are left behind asking themselves what more could have been done. The time for action is now.” Veterans Affairs Secretary Dr. David J. Shulkin
Left with nothing, they became homeless and fell prey to a greedy Chaplain holding them in a facility below the grounds of Fort Christmas. When they did not show progress taking a drug to numb them, taking away all of their emotions, they were murdered. Their deaths, passed off as suicides, no one else would bother to care about. PTSD veterans treated like lab rats! Female with the Medal of Honor, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, Army surgeon in the Civil War.
