Congress makes budget, administration says the VA needs about 12 billion more to cover their costs, the Republican Congress members vote against it.
I'm not saying a therapist would have helped prevent this, but I'm saying it very well may have helped prevent it.
It wouldn’t have helped this guy. His ex girlfriend talked how he wouldn’t go to a therapist since it would end his career. That needs to change. After what these people see, they need to be able to talk about it workout risk of losing their jobs.
That's fucked up. They sign up for a job where PTSD is basically a given, and then they're not allowed to go to therapy?
Ridiculously, it's seen as a sign of weakness, including by those who might be in the position to give you a promotion.
The whole military culture around mental health needs to be completely reformed, but I have no idea how that would be done.
If he was trying to keep his clearance, then he would strive to avoid any appearance of mental health issues. Strictly speaking you're still encouraged to take care of your mental health, but you have no confidentiality in your mental health records if you have a clearance and certain psychological issues can be a cause to deny or revoke a clearance. Many clearance-holders opt to avoid therapy and other mental health treatments as a result.
The other replies were about going at all, but that's not the key here
She said he'd lose clearance if he went, that means the things he'd say were psychotic and he knew it
His wife allegedly shared a trump tweet and said she read them to get the desire to kill people, that kind of statement to a therapist will get your clearances revoked fast
So the guy was a massive shitstain, knew it, and then offed himself pathetically. AKA your standard trump supporter
Yeah, his full suicide letter came out, and it looks like he was still fully on board with Trump and Elon. Doesn't make sense why he'd blow up a cybertruck in front of a Trump building, but yeah. Lots of railing against the 1% while supporting a whole bunch of billionaires.
