Hey AlaskaMad. When my son was a senior in high school, the father of a close friend of his paid the ultimate price while serving in Iraq as a member of the Guard. He was a caring father of two teenage children and husband to a now widow. Guess what. My son and his friend are both military officers, one Army and one Air Force. They protect our freedom every day and I am very proud of them. If the Guard is really as ineffective as you claim, the fault does not lie on any individual. I wish people would quit making this mass murder into an invitation to complain about things that we all know are broken. If people would step up and support the mental health care community and prioritize better resources and real solutions to a virtually nonexistent mental health care system, some might actually receive the care they need. You can't arrest people for being mentally ill and you can't hold them against their will unless they are a threat to themselves or others.
