Military Spouse says resiliency program "too little too late"

This article is about some military spouses protesting during Paul Ryan's visit but when I was reading it, what one of them said about "resiliency" supports what I've been saying since 2008. It is not too late but it is too wrong. Most of the program is fine but when it tells the troops they can "train their brains to be mentally tough" it ends up telling them they are mentally weak if they end up with PTSD. This program needs to either end or get a major readjustment.

The resiliency program in her opinion has not been a huge help to them after ten years at war. "Too little, too late," McCarthy said.

During Thursday's campaign visit to Fayetteville, around 12 protesters gathered at the end of the driveway leading into the PDI lab where Rep. Paul Ryan was greeted for a private gathering. Some protesters were military families from Fort Bragg.

Jillian McCarthy, a military spouse at Fort Bragg for the past four years, says while she does not have to worry about health care, since her family is covered through the military, she has other concerns.

"What's important to me is my children and their education. Romney/Ryan want to cut infrastructure and spending in all areas and I don't agree with that," said McCarthy.

This military spouse feels strongly that the Romney ticket is not offering help that the military needs, particularly more funding for PTSD. McCarthy also mentioned the overstocking of the Veterans Administration hospital is an issue, and the strain the constant deployments have taken on both the families and soldiers.

The McCarthy family has 18.5 years of active duty service, but they might have to stay in in order to send their kids to college, the way the economy looks right now.
