If Resilience Training worked, they wouldn't need an app for that

Aside from military suicides breaking records, more veterans committing suicide, arrests up and veterans flooding the VA seeking help, these are the stories that should prove once and for all the bullshit we were fed about Battlemind preventing all of this did not work.

“It spirals you from where you're at to a more calm, relaxed state,” he said, “so you're ready to hit the road again or ready to re-engage.”
