By combing through digital devices donated by surviving family members, non-profit “Stop Soldier Suicide” is on a mission to help prevent veteran suicides. Investigators look through emails, texts, and even search histories to identify potential warning signs with hopes that one day their technology will help at-risk veterans when they need it the most.

jesus make indica (seeds) available (not at stupid dispensary prices) and try and remember people need integrity. flush the ma5ons out of every aspect of governance, then maybe we have a chance to respect ourselves. send vets to west papua to fight indonesia, give them a cause that is just and worthy.
Seems like a huge invasion of privacy for little or no gain. Ok, they sieze the phones and see a pattern in online behavior… best case, now what? Do they monitor all vets online activity? Ironic… the soldiers still have to seek help. Are they more likely building (online profiles) of potentially dangerous domestic terrorists? You better believe it. There will be no suicides circumvented with this initiative. I would bet a few Vets will be "called in for questioning" behind it though. Just remember, "We're from the Government… We're here to help you".
To all Veterans: many times the thing that you can't forget is the thing you need to get back to. Hear the sound of grenades going off during the night in your peacefull home? Next day surround yourself with gun-fire and explosions: work it out of your system by pushing the painful buttons IN with force.
Also, a life partner changes everything for the better.
Thank U for Your Service 💯💯
Searching for clues? Our government does not take care of their vets as they promised. Do not have to search far for that clue. Every freaking election we hear how our vets need to be taken care of then nothing. They use it as a platform to run on that is it.
And here come all the people that want to be acknowledged as victims, then complain when people tried to help…Veteran Suicide is no higher than any other demographic. Stop rewarding it, bet it goes away
They had the decency to rid the world of these paid murderers💩
🙏God Heal Them
Here is a great idea that will help…
Stop sending them to stupid wars!!!
VLADIMIR PUTIN MY COMRADE 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Let me tell you a story about an "at risk" veteran who didn't need to be identified by searching through cell phones. When my story is finished, ask yourself: what's the point of making extreme efforts to identify "at risk" vets if we have so little help to offer them?
Nobody needed to search my cell phone to understand that I was at risk. I walked right into the VA Hospital in Denver and told them: I'm here because I'm suicidal. What happened next? They took away my clothes, and made me sit in an empty, freezing room, while wearing a silly little wisp of a gown, and they assigned a staff person to "watch" me. And there I sat, being watched. I suppose that if I lunged for a weapon of some sort, like, perhaps, a belt of a pair of shoelaces, the "watcher" could protect me from myself.
But that was all the support the VA could offer a veteran on the cusp of suicide: a suicide watch and a dose of infuriating bureaucracy. While I was being "watched" someone from the bean counters' office came to find me and tell me I wasn't eligible for care, because I hadn't served on active duty long enough. Somehow, the VA counted 2 years of active duty differently from the Navy, who had been perfectly happy that I finished my two-year committment.
I walked into the VA hospital suicidal, and I left suicidal and enraged. And cold.
I'm the son of a Navy veteran who ended his life by suicide, and I still feel suicidal all too often. But I won't make the mistaking of expecting useful care from the VA again.
You'll waste all the effort in identifying at risk veterans unless you design a system of care that helps them, instead of driving them deeper into despair.
