Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claimed to be the one who killed Usama bin Laden, was arrested in Texas on misdemeanor assault and public intoxication.
I mean to be fair assault and public intox are about what i’d expect out of most military vets. It isn’t like the VA’s giving them good mental health assistance after they return home.
There are many traumatized combat troops out there, but most find help (despite the VA) and live lives out of the spotlight.
And most of the military is just a huge interstate money laundering ring for big military contracting companies wasting our tax dollars.
That said, mental health, pensions, and support systems by all measures need improving and we should all be pushing our congress to get off their asses and pay for it.

Most?
