    Veterans with other-than-honorable discharges don't typically qualify for VA benefits, even though many have service-related trauma. To address that, the VA started a program allowing them to come in to receive mental health care, at least for 90 days.https://n.pr/2QWaZJC

        They deserve better even if their discharge was less than honorable. "You break it, you buy it". You can't just send these young men and women into combat then discard them if they are damaged. Whatever it takes. Get them the help they need.

        This is great.The problem, the stigma. If you think it’s hard to get a civilian male to go to the doctor, try one that isn’t suppose to cry,feel or think there is a problem.They are trained and taught in life, that going to the doctor makes you weak. Stop the shame in the service

        90 days isn’t enough. If we can’t afford to support ALL our vets, then we can’t afford war. #human

        What we can afford is #MedicareForAll, so veterans who want to bypass the system will always have somewhere where to turn. . .

        Only 115 OTH vets out of an estimated 500,000 have take advantage of the program! Vet nonprofits can be a solution to getting the word out to these OTH veterans and getting them to the right mental health resources! #BeThere

        And after that 90 day period, their case should be transferred to a program, like Workers Comp., to continue their care. Free.

        Or we can just get a single payer system going, dispense with all these individual programs and probably save a lot in administrative costs and get everyone covered.

        How many of these so called Bad Paper Vets aren’t claiming PTSD made them do it?

        And go to your local vets service center to find out how you can fix your paper. It's worth a try.
