The truth about the incident is never going to be revealed except for the few of us who trully know what happened because it's a reality that will hit PSTD too hard again. No one wants to pony up the money to help all the soldiers appropriately when they return with counseling and slowing down deployments and longer dwell time. All I can say is this incident was a tragic shame that could have been avoided would it not be for the disregard of how serious these frequent deployments are mentally straining all of our troops. I will be showing my respects at the memorial but it's such a shame had someone caught the signs beforehand.
