The Duffle Blog article is pure Satire.
I am not suggesting that Veteran Suicides are really increasing due to this specific act.....I just find the Duffle Blog articles pretty funny sometimes. That they are based upon actual events but twist them around a bit just works to make them more effective.
Congress is supposed to have known about this for at least two years....and I am sure the SecDef knew about it for nearly that long as did the Chairman JCS, the Army Chief of Staff and the Adjutant General of the California Army National Guard.
To wait till this late date shows not one of them had any Balls or concern for the Soldiers affected!
Those Soldiers did their Duty...many being killed or maimed in the process.
