What Station?

Krld?

Another veteran in pain with a gun near by......we all let him down

Half truths, yet again.

The long waits you refer to, and blame entirely on Obama, were 100% shared between Republicans and Democrats. NONE OF THEM went the few miles up the road to the DC veterans hospital even ONCE, and checked on how the people in uniform were being treated.

NONE OF THEM. That means that everyone of the Republican Presidents AND Democrat Presidents are culpable.

The people who are most disgusting, are the Republicans, because they still to this day make a big show of PRETENDING to care what happens to our people, while steadily cutting the parts of the budget that don't fund weapons systems, and blaming the victims and the people who they arranged to injure, by sending them into wars without proper funding or support systems.

But again, the Democrats have no excuses either.

As for blaming Trump, he has yet to have done anything other than talk. He has shown that he would LIKE to leave all such military victims in a trash heap somewhere, in order to fund more tax cuts for his rich friends who never serve, but he didn't have anything to do with this particular sufferer.

I was listeng to a local station and a guy had called in and was stage four cancer. This was a,veteran and could no longer stand in the lines at the v.a. he called the radio show and blew
His brains out on live radio.
He could no longer stand the pain while waiting.
Thank you mr Trump.

You can make excuses if you wish

There are lots of teeny, tiny agencies on the chopping block too. One of them is the United States Institute of Peace, a federal think tank working in the realm of international conflict resolution. On its website, the Institute notes that its 300 employees work at “the Institute’s headquarters in Washington, which faces the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and symbolizes our nation’s commitment to peace.”

Bunch of BS agencies that someone promised money to for votes. THIS will stop! Your paycheck is robbed enough.


I notice noone says anything about the money O'bummer spent when he went to Hawaii at #300 dollar meals and trip to Taj Mahal India for all their friends at the taxpayer expense.

Obama called for more spending on veterans and an increased budget.
Republicans blocked it.

Nice try at an "Obummer" deflect but you fail.

Obama is no longer the pres.

An even sadder part of this story, and millions like it, is that there are herbal remedies that can cure Cancer, even stage four cancer, but the Federal Government, through the FDA, is suppressing these remedies. With Alkaline therapy, for example, which has a high cure rate, the unbearable pain he was complaining about goes away in less than three days. The Federal Government has been waging war, not only against our Veterans, but against the right of the American people to effective cures for maladies like cancer.

What I am telling you here is also a true story. The Federal Government treats veterans and the American people in general as enemies, in fact, it specifically lists them as enemies.

We should worry more about the
Criminals that have commited crimes and were let out of prison than veterans that offered their life for our country.

Axtually i am holding my tounge and not cussing you you for wanting to take the rights away from veterans

We should worry more about the
Criminals that have commited crimes and were let out of prison than veterans that offered their life for our country.

so basically you would rather see a veteran commit suicide with a gun than to compromise of gun regulations?

today's meds aren't like your mom's

Those vets in crisis deserve a chance

Then take away their knives and cars too ?

Studies have shown that if someone does not have a gun they will find another way.

For someone to comment suicide it's something they build up to doing and often times have made more than one plan.

The gun had nothing to do with him wanting to take his own life.

The unfortunate and depressing issue of suicide has become a staggering piece of harsh reality in today's world. In the US, ranking 46th in the world of rates per capita, we experience 11,000 self-inflicted deaths per year, and the UK: 7,000. This has become a serious issue for many countries whether the factors be family issues, health issues, money problems, or relationship failures. The ways in which people decide to shuffle this mortal coil are numerous and varying. Ten of the most often seen are as follows.

10. Drowning

How it's Done: Maybe a relationship tremor has caused you to rethink your life here on the planet, and the weight of it all has made you decide to drown yourself. Sometimes, driving or even convincing yourself to walk into a large body or water will do it, otherwise many perish in as little water as a slightly-filled bathtub.

Results From Failure: Oxygen deprivation can cause severe and permanent brain damage.

9. Electric Shock

How it's Done: Sometimes the thought of continuing to live in a world inundated with problems and insurmountable issues results on one wanting to die by electric shock. Something as simple as jamming a utensil in a wall outlet, to the more notable dunking an appliance in an occupied bathtub, can result in death by electric shock.

Results From Failure: Deep burns from 500-1000 volts, ventricular fibrillation at 110-220 volts, and severe neurological damage.

8. Exsanguination

How it's Done: Frequently the most obvious way to rapidly harm one's self yet pass on relatively slowly, is to slit the wrists or the carotid, radial, ulnar, or femoral artery. Using a sharp implement is the easiest way to go. Razors or knives are popular. Contrary to popular belief, the effective method for this is not to cross the wrist, but to draw the blade up the forearm (as is evident in the photograph above). This is the same way Japanese perform Jigai (women) and Seppuku (men), although their's is often for more spiritual purposes.

Results From Failure: Extreme loss of blood causing the heart to dramatically slow eventually depriving the brain of oxygen. Also, most often, deep scars and tissue damage.

7. Jumping

How it's Done: Pondering the emptiness in one's life can be a painful experience. Yet, when it all seems so overwhelming, you might decide to plummet from a significant height to your own death. Leaping from a building to the pavement below is quite lethal, and popular. However, romantics may choose to use a cliff over jagged rocks. Or bridges.

Results From Failure: Shattered femurs from impacting with water up to severe bodily harm from impacting with any solid surface.

6. Suffocation

How it's Done: You've decided that your life is in disarray and you can no longer stand the pressure. One way to end it all is to encase your head in a plastic bag and asphyxiate yourself. Or, if you're really ready to go, nitrogen or helium directly inhaled is useful.

Results From Failure: Turning back at the last minute before passing out can result in serious and long-lasting to permanent brain damage.

5. Carbon Monoxide Inhalation

How it's Done: It's all so difficult and the full weight of the world is seemingly square upon your shoulders. You've decided to go to the great beyond and you are going to lock yourself in a car, in a closed garage with the engine running and go to sleep. Or, if you have any appliance that puts of CO, that'll do.

Results From Failure: CO molecules irreversibly attach themselves to human hemoglobin and the result is often fatal even if one backs out.

4. Poisoning

How it's Done: Romeo and Juliet had it down when, once seeing the other presumably dead, the other fatally poisons himself. Taking a substance internally not meant to be done so can be considered poisoning: cleaners, industrial fluids, diazepam, cyanide, and the like.

Results From Failure: The toxic levels of poison required to kill one's self are generally non-reversible. However, hospital staff can attempt it and often make one vomit or something similar. Lasting effects can include internal organ damage

3. Hanging

How it's Done: It's all over. Nothing in life seems to make it worth living any more. You can acquire a length of rope and construct yourself a noose, which is, by the way, considered a deadly weapon if tied correctly. Once built, wrap one end securely around something high: a rafter or a ceiling fan, and leap, head fastened within the loop, from a chair. Or, if you're short of rope, anything strong enough to support your weight from your neck can be employed.

Results From Failure: Brain damage from lack of oxygen, Often, failure to actually break your own neck may only yield strangulation and you can be saved, but damaged. Also, permanent rope burns or implement scarring can occur.

2. Drug / Alcohol Overdose

How it's Done: The pressure and stress of daily routines has beaten you down for the final time. Within your medicine cabinet lies the answer to your extermination: prescription and over-the-counter meds. A huge mouthful can do you right in. Or, to speed along the process, couple your target pills with a few swigs of alcohol. Many of our favorite musicians have chosen this route. Even alcohol alone, in extreme excess can kill you.

Results From Failure: Severe to permanent organ failure if successful removal isn't achieved, as well as impaired judgment. Often, clinical assistance is necessary if attempt is repeated.

1. Gun Shot

How it's Done: One of the most often achieved forms of suicide is by gun shot. Generally a head shot is desired since its results are 99 percent effective, however a chest shot can be equally as devastating.

Results From Failure: Sometimes the blast isn't enough to kill. In this case, severe to permanent bodily damage can occur as well as blood loss, organ and tissue damage, and brain damage.

show me the stats to back up how cars and knives were used in their suicides......i will wait for that data.......

No what we are saying is that just because somebody is on meds they do not lose their rights. We all agree that infants children known suicudals and criminals should not have guns. But you want to
Use semantics to push your anti american anti second amendment ideals

and a woman's RIGHT to have an abortion?

can't have it both ways

Let's focus on VA reform. Obama had 8 years to do something. He promised to do something. The Republicans even offered a bill.

Obama did NOTHING!

Trump got it done. I hope they are as successful with Obamacare and taxes.

Trump signs VA reform bill.

How many people will get fired today?

Perhaps health care will exist now.

Trump signs VA reform bill, making good on a campaign promise

Bill passed House 368-55, unanimously in Senate

Really glad to see this happen. So shameful the way many of our veterans were treated. 0bama did nothing to rectify it.

All the bill really does is pass the resposibility of deficiencies from the government to government employees. It will be interesting to see what affect it has.
