I saw a lot of guys come back from deployments with issues, get into drugs and get into trouble and other issues, and get bad paper discharges. These guys were acting out because of the service inflicted traumas. They need to be taken care of too.

This has been an issue close to my heart for more than a decade. I know of many people personally who weren't eligible for care because of the type of discharge they got.

This is just how we as a nation need to take better care of our vets.

Well done.
