Be Aware of What They Don't Know

With all the groups out there claiming to be raising awareness on PTSD and suicides, things just keep getting worse for our veterans.  It is time to find out what they know and what they are telling the veterans they are claiming to be helping.

The following are basic questions I've learned the answers to over the last 3 decades. If they really know what they are talking about, then they should already know all these answers. I supplied links to the answers of what they should know. If a link is missing it means the answer can be found within another question. I don't want to make it too easy on them. On some questions there are several answers, so search for all the ones you can find. If they cannot answer all of them, then they are part of the problem our veterans have been dealing with.

You'll know the answers but if you print the questions out in plain text without the links, they can either track back this post or actually look them up themselves. If they don't even bother to find the answers, then they do not deserve any support from you or anyone else. At the very least, they may learn something to actually change things for the better.
