A criminal is a criminal, but offering the assistance to them to get help should be the first step. We are going wrong by letting these guys loose into the world before the proper evaluation. However, I do appreciate the attention this is getting, and just wish we could be me PROactive instead of reactive.. Veterans are the most Suicidal, and that statistic has gone under the rug for too long. You can't go to therapy to cure a Suicide and have it wiped clean..
