'He wasn't finished being a soldier'

Way too many Canadian Veterans ending up in this situation. I feel for his widow, family, and friends.

I believe without a doubt that navigating paperwork and appointments with counsellors and psychiatrists would drive anyone mad especially the Veterans Affairs part. You see how quick VAC are to deny responsibility, nothing new here. But the fact is a human being is now gone, and no one seems to want to take responsibility. What are we going to blame this on Joseph? With all the suicides, all the outcry for better benefits, and treatments, you would think that it is the system that is failing.

With what I know today I would not recommend anyone join the Canadian Armed Forces. Our government is cruel towards it's disabled Veterans. They are quick to send us abroad but once injured, and return home they throw us to the wolves. How can anyone be proud to serve this government?

Studies, and collecting data is going to do or solve nothing. The problem lies within the government, a government who fails to acknowledge this.
