It certainly IS true that many had psychological problems before joining the military. If it weren't true then why does the miitary specificlly target people with the advertising about "needing more discipline in your life". Which is basically code for "have you been confused and ****ed up for a while? can't find a job?? join the army!"
Of course once they are veterans they should receive as much help and treatment as is possible. I'm not saying that all, or even most recruits have psychological problems before they join.
I'm just saying, a lot do.
The bottom line is, anyone who serves this country should have access to the best healthcare in the world. Whatever congress's healthcare plan is, the soldiers should have the same healthcare access.
If it's good enuf for the congress, then it's good enuf for our soldiers i say.
