I like this idea, but it really doesn't do anything to support our veterans, military retirees and their families. I have been in recent community meetings and have seen proof the Joint Base Lewis McChord is denying retirees access to crisis counseling and suicide prevention resources at the Madagin Army Medical Center (MAMC) on-post. No veteran in crisis should ever be turned away from the MAMC Emergency Room or denied access to suicide prevention help, but this is exactly what is happening at JBLM. To be clear, it's not that MAMC Medical Personnel won't offer care - they will - but rather it is that retirees are being denied access to JBLM by the JBLM Police (DES/PMO) and thus are unable to access the care that they need. JBLM DES corruption is well-known (just a few months ago there was a video of a JBLM DES Cop repeatedly striking a female soldier in the face while she was in custody at the JBLM Police Station, and the report that JBLM DES supervisors didn't care), and now the lives of our military retirees are being put at risk when that same corrupt police force denies them access to emergency medical care. This type of government misconduct and the threat it poses to our veterans cannot be tolerated in our communities.
