#1  Its about time this comes out, sort of. Most vets already know this. They also know nobody gives a shit. So why is this here? No comments, no one really cares. Even the VA cares less. But the VA does care about diversity, they care about trans gender feelings... DOD even set up a special office for it. But the troubled vets? Here's a number at the bottom of the page, gee thanks! Stop reminding us.
