Did you form an opinion on whether or not the patients would have suffered from tough mental health issues regardless of their war service?
In my view it really shouldn't matter but at least the VA was there to try and help them. In my experience with a mentally ill son, you really have to fall into certain "buckets" in order to get services. If you fall outside a bucket, or if you don't like the service offered, it all falls back on the families which if they can't provide support becomes a very ugly situation.
