Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just found out that a friend of my son
from the army commited suicide. (Not the 1st). I am afraid my patience has worn out. I want anyone and everyone who has information that will stop the fascist , corporate take over of my country. Stop the profiteering of war by corporate and political murderers of the men and women who ARE the patriots . Trump the GOP stooges the Democratic stooges need to be run out of the country asap. We need to make America great again . No more stalling no more excuses there are people who know plenty and this has to be made public . Plenty of ways to leak and not out yourself. Please major damage is happening daily.

(16,858 posts)I've lost many friends to suicide that I knew in the military. It's a nationwide epidemic. So sorry that your life has been touched by this. I'm not sure when enough will be enough to force attention on this issue!

(7,952 posts)Until the people who consider themselves the "REAL AMERICANS" and wave their flags admit their guilt for bringing this cabal to power I see no change. Tragically, that is never going to happen.

(34,381 posts)money anymore, our very lives are at stake. That fucking Iraq War has fatally wounded how many vets now? They say there's an average of 2 suicides a day? The government is a goddamned disgrace and the GOP should be tagged as a criminal enterprise. If the disinterested public doesn't wake up and wake up soon, there will be nothing and no one left to save.
Again, I'm so sorry and I share your anger and outrage.

(63,221 posts)and from a greedy, uncaring government that refuses to give proper care to it's veterans once they return. It is unacceptable that these men and women are not getting the help that they need when we never seem to be short of money to give to defense contractors.
I am sorry for your son's loss and for the family of the young man. What a sad Mother's day it is for some women.

Punitive raids are the 21st century way to deal with these assholes.
