Having lost friends in the Military Community to suicide makes me passionately angry at the lack of services and resources. I have lost friends after deployments. The war inside their minds doesn't end after the deployment ends. The scars and damages of war don't magically go away when they get sent home. I have lost friends in the military to suicide when the stress of the job and being isolated from friends and family became too much. The military for too long would say "If you need help tell someone." but, as soon as they told the command they needed help they were faced with losing security clearances and opportunities. Some were faced with discharge and those actions compounded the already fierce mental anguish. That's why I advocate for change and progress. That's why its time to say enough is enough and if the military can't step up then I can.
