"We’re great at treating that, we’re horrible at treating the mental health part."

- Colonel Kris Thompson, (Rtd) US Army/National Guard, says we help soldiers with physical injuries, but there’s no improvement for plans or services to treat mental health for active duty soldiers or veterans. He calls it an “unresolved issue that keeps getting worse” and says there needs to be a “full regiment of focus” to help more than we’re doing now.
