The president feels strongly that we need to destigmatize the mental health costs of war to prevent these tragic deaths, and changing this policy is part of that process, a senior White House official said in a statement to POLITICO.

The review was exhaustive and difficult, as this is an emotional, painful and complicated issue, the official said.

I suspect we have been doing "something" along this line since the beginning of our country. So is this just another "I'm sooooo wonderful" on the Obama ego list??

This will probably double the suicides when already depressed people know they will get this kind of sending off from the President.

Short version: “I’m so sad that the evil US military caused your son/daughter to commit suicide. I hate the military, too.” — Barack Obama

The leftist meme with regard to the military, when they aren’t the root of all evil, they are hapless victims.

mr. president, we have the auto pen warmed up, here is your golf bag and juice box, dont forget your goofy hat, and sunblock....



To: ColdOne

I'm sorry your son, daughter, and/or trans-gender committed suicide. But on a positive note, you can rest assured they will continue to vote democrat in every election from now on. Your comrade, B. H. Obama

“The review was exhaustive and difficult, as this is an emotional, painful and complicated issue, Gag me with a damned spoon. This joke must have been told he could get some military votes from this scam..



To: pabianice

Yes. My first thought was this was a way to show how rotten our military is, and how our men and women in uniform are psychos. Dems are always talking about crazed Vietnam vets and how our rotten society pushes vulnerable people (mostly poor) into the evil armed services.
