        Our concern is that y'all are using these deaths as a #WarOnDrugs need a study on what was prescribed and what had to be bought off streets

        #Heartbreaking may I ask was there a toxicology report compared to the scripts the VA was prescribing? Or like most Vets was black mkt used?

        Until we direct the help toward our disabled Vietnam #vets (at highest risk of suicide) we will not see the 22 a day go down.

        One way to stop Suicide! STOP over medicating them with too many Psychotropics & Antidepressants without monitoring! Doctor just add more. 😢

        Do a study on which ones were on anti-psychotic or OD on street drugs because #CanNotGetMeds & legitimate pain will send them to drug dealer
