if a soldier is afraid to reach out, if they feel that their professional military career will be hurt, we're trying to do everything we can to destigmatize that
Today, unfortunately, we are seeing more information on the extent of those problems.
We need to go back and find every soldier that may have not gotten the proper diagnosis and evaluation.
That's just unacceptable.
We've got to get this right, and we got to get it right now, and we need every effort at it.
This is complex. It's hard. It's problematic, but it needs every single effort from top to bottom.
You can't imagine what it's like to talk to a soldier who was told he had PTSD.
I, too, am very alarmed by the suicide rate among our servicemembers and our veterans.
Enrollment is continuing to climb. The number of servicemembers' cases meeting timeliness goals is unacceptably low.
We still today have not gotten this right after this war in making sure that they transition back home.
I think this needs to be transparent and clear.
