His brother said he was getting mental health care. Was this veteran receiving mental health treatment at the Anchorage VA Outpatient Clinic? If so, I can guess why he decided to throw his life away. the quacks who work at that place and the men who are supposed to be in charge are worthless. Because of bad leadership, the place is a cesspool for those wanting mental health services. I know homeless guys who will not set foot into that place. They say they are finished with the military and the VA. I totally know why.

I am so sorry that it seems this young kid did not get the care he deserved from the VA. Unfortunately he is not the only one who has been screwed over by the mental health staff there.
