      I'm going to assume he was also in the service too, the certain way among how combat guys talk, grunts, fellow veterans folks to each other. Now for this scenario, he could relate or empathize with the guy, so the officer could take the appropriate approach towards the vet. Not only that, but the specific places he mentioned too, (now I'm not %100 guarantee he is) made me think so.

They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It's remarkable, their gift to us.

    As a veteran, this just absolutely rips my heart to shreds. I was in Afghanistan, but never outside the wire. I can’t even imagine the things he saw. Our government needs to do better by our service members. They need to do better about education on mental health benefits and getting people easier access. Upon my return home from Afghanistan in May 2021 it took almost a year for them to get me and my buddies into “reintegration”. By that point, people could have died had they not been seen by a civilian physician. We need to do better.

    Used to work at a convenience store and had an older Vietnam vet who would come in to hang out most days for an hour or two. He'd stand around and converse or read his paper and greet customers. Every once in a while he'd come in looking disheveled and unkempt. Those days when the change machine would noisily dole out coins or someone jangled their car keys, he'd get down in a stance like the gentleman in the video, ghost gun pulled from its ghost holster, ready to take on an enemy. He liked to gather veterans together to go to funerals for other veterans who had little to no family. He passed away last week and seeing this video made me miss him that much more, for we have so much work to do when it comes to caring for our mentally worn down veterans. There are many more like the veteran in this video.

    As a combat veteran with a service related disability due to my time in Iraq... I'm so sorry. You're not alone brother. Take your time, seek help. It doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong. There's medication and counseling that can help. Also, if you don't have it, seek military disability. Regardless of what you've heard the VA has been great to me and will help you as you need it.

      Sorry Joe, that's not a 100% correct.
      Yes, blind, deaf vets get service dogs thru the VA, the VA contracts with a legit service dog training group near it's medical facility. The same goes for seriously wounded vets as well as you mentioned.
      For years, the VA has claimed that their was no evidence that service dogs were any help to the disabled. The real story is that the V.A. didn't want to spend the approximately $25K per trained dog. Just recently, Congress grew tired of the V.A.'s B.S. and ordered the V.A. to immediately supply vets with dogs.
      There is a program that has been a huge success for the vets. In some prisons, inmates can volunteer, and if selected, are matched up with a dog to teach the dog to be a service dog for a vet. It is a win-win-win situation. First, the dogs come from county/city pounds, humane shelters, rescue shelters, etc. So the dogs get a 2nd chance at life, they will be well cared for in a new home, and they will have a job to perform..........dogs are happy when they can work.
      Next, the disabled vet gets a dog, trained suited to their needs and disabilities. Then, the inmate..........he/she gets a rewarding task to perform. The dog is with them 24/7, the inmate feeds, trains, plays, sleeps with the dog. The inmate learns responsibility, a skill that can transfer to the outside world. The V.A. wins, only a handful of staff will be needed at each prison. The staff will be needed to train the inmates on how to train the dogs, how to care for the dogs physically, supervise the program, purchase and distribute supplies, and make progress reports to the V.A.
      I know a great deal about the service dog issue.......I have a service dog, and I was lead to her by the V.A.

The veteran has to have their own home or live with someone who has been designated as a caregiver. If the veteran has a history of suicidal thoughts they must be deemed to no longer be any threat to themselves. The list goes on, which sadly drives away applicants.
