UPDATE
I received this email from his wife.
Chaplain Kathie,
Thanks for posting the story, however, it's somewhat misleading. Zac has applied to Pathway Home in California for inpatient treatment. We are awaiting approval. It is his only hope, if doesn't get in, we don't know what we'll do. Additionally, it is tragic and an injustice that it came down to this. My husband is now a felon for something he did not do. Those rights he promised to protect when he signed his life over to Uncle Sam, are the very ones he has been unjustly stripped of. Our veterans with legal issues and injuries are being largely ignored and neglected by those who have the power to help them. We received no help from the VJOC or any other veteran's organization we reached out to.
I am really disappointed in my country.
