That's tragic, and systems should be in place whereby individuals who have experienced traumatic events can be identified and treated accordingly. But the army way is a catchall covering only their own regimental systems that bears no relevance to 000's of others who don't come anywhere near to the stresses of those walking the streets etc.
Surely we ought to be able to trust our officer and NCO cadre to identify anyone who may need help, with the assistance of trained medical staff.
