Families speak about military loved ones lost and how we failed them

August 13, 2016 - A SHAMEFUL number of Aussie soldiers return from war zones depressed, anxious, in despair but unable to find help.

Grieving families of war veterans who have taken their own lives say their loved ones might still be alive today if they’d received adequate support from authorities.

Thirteen families of service men and veterans have bravely spoken out to highlight the plight of military men and women at risk.

Their call for more support comes as a Sunday Herald Sun investigation reveals 41 military personnel and veterans died this year from suicide, the same as the number of Australians who were killed in Afghanistan during 13 years of war.

Each family which agreed to be part of this special report lost their sons, husbands or fathers in the past two years.

They ranged in age from 21 to 57. Most of them were in their 20s and 30s when they died.

Almost all had been deployed to overseas operations, including Iraq, East Timor, Afghanistan or served on navy ships involved in border patrol.

The concerns were backed by former Chief of Army and Soldier On chairman Peter Leahy, who said the government needed to “step up and own the problem”. read more>>>

Especially for the Corporate and Wealthy Community, investors in Defense Industries, and for these, Afghanistan and Iraq, came Two Huge Tax Cuts, with more sweetheart deals to same from states and the fed!! And that covers much more in the Deficits, like even paying for war policies and the results from and much more, then just the, grossly under funded thus not properly built nor properly maintained, and not conservative obstructionists pols concern, VA budgets!!

Any Governments Veterans Administration are the people served Responsibility! Not another corporate profit seeking entity off of war as now much of the privatized military has become, just look how fast and big the government funded corporate merc army/intelligence was built above all laws and caused more lasting deadly damage to the American, once proud in leadership and morals, brand on the world stage! Not socialized anything but their Responsibility to Actually Sacrifice, as it's been since they were established but promises never upheld with, in America, Congressional fixes coming mostly unfunded and piece-meal causing more problems, the way those served seem to really like it that way as they lay blame on the VA personal!!

Conservative ideology Worldwide: Like our long time Vietnam and since Veterans, Conservative, Nemesis, one of their experts(?), used to shape their policies, and very highly compensated: * * Sally Satel Still Selling Care for PTSD Veterans is Waste of Money * * There are plenty of others, they've got a ready stable full of go to {experts?}, and plenty of unfunded ignored and denied issues!! Not just as to the VA but Government wide as they seek to privatize, with little or no regulation, for corporate profits all of government, keeping only administrations in the agencies so they can call them government agencies still and have someone to blame and attack for the created media hyped 'scandals', many repeated over and over!!
