Supporting the troops

TThe American military mental health system is in extremely grave condition according to a study released by the American Psychological Association. At a time when one in ten of all soldiers would be defined as having a mental disorder the service is short nearly half of the psychologists it requires and there are many other shortcomings as well.

Of course if I pour through the detail of the Pentagon's record budget request I am sure that I will find that these shortcomings have already been addressed and that the spending isn't all on toys.
