The push now is to identify those who might become violent before they act, especially when the military is involved

I wonder how long it will take the gov to start treating some of these PTSD patients with MDMA or LSD.

An eternity...

Pretty much guaranteed now that dudes that legitimately need help won't get it because of increased scrutiny

I'd like to say thank god for drug dealers, but ain't nobody got time to take fake Molly aka methadone or fake LSD aka LSA or DOC. This is what the drug war induces.

This incident and it's aftermath is going to further stigmatize veterans from seeking out treatment for mental health issues.

Could be because Obama's anti-gun buddy was just arrested for arms dealing.

Had a colleague whose dad died when she was in college. Understandably, she saw a councilor during this time.

When she was up for a job that required a clearance, it took quite a few more hoops (and time) for her to get it.

Will anyone who had similar experiences be denied clearances (or side arms taken away) because they talked to a professional? Would less service members seek help for PTSD if they are afraid there may be consequences to their career?
