@TexChik But at what cost?

@Kembe Evidently any, so long as taxes are paying for it XD

@Kembe at a much cheaper cost than if they only hired psychologists as officers ... it's just tough to come home in one piece ...

@TexChik And what about our mentally ill vets? A lot of them wanted to go home in one piece.

Where is this even headed?
