From a petition - The epidemic of soldier suicides is specifically troubling. Troops are disciplined for minor infractions, with otherwise excellent records prior to mental health issues, facing disciplinary action and significant punishment, which is extremely detrimental to their well-being and dishonors the very same organizations who sends them to war, only to turn their back on them. Troops face harrassment every single day by the very leaders that are supposed to protect them. My daughter has been harassed for well over a year by members of her chain of command and most recently demoted, taking the last bit of dignity she had. This did nothing but exacerbate her illnesses and send her into financial turmoil with the severe pay cut the demotion resulted in. This is what our troops deserve? This is how they are treated? Unfortunately, yes this is how they are treated.
