...and those who aren't willing to help themselves...
It's simple. Help people help themselves, help those who can't.
People with diseases often can't help themselves. Whether its caused by drugs, war, poverty, assault, cancer, whatever. Because they're sick. And people do all sorts of stupid things when they're sick.
So lets stop treating our vets like they need special treatment - good or bad.
Tough love and neglect is a suboptimal strategy for treating PTSD.
My bestie served, he was harmed; he was fine until he wasn't. He deserves whatever consideration we can offer.
I'm glad you and most others weren't harmed that way. Have some empathy for those not so fortunate.
