1. I chose to cover special veterans’ courts for this paper. This court was created back in 2008 in Buffalo, New York. It was created by Judge Robert Russell in an effort to help veterans who have broken the law due to the adverse psychological and emotional effects that military service can have upon a service member. Some veterans, after undergoing various combat situations, being cut off from family and friends, and other hardships associated with being in the military, are not able to properly

thinks it’s so easy and cool to join Armed Forces, but to be honest, half of them don’t even know what the effects would be when they join and after they leave the military. People usually take our veterans for granted and they don’t acknowledge what veterans have done for us and our country. Veterans should be shown respect when they come back home, but they don’t and to me that’s just disrespectful and it also shows how out of line citizens are. Everyone who has fought for their country, chose

The Veterans Administration Medical Center hospital system has been in the national headlines for many years. This has generally not been in a positive way. Many issues have tarnished the reputation of the VA system including, in the distant past questions of sterilization issues reportedly resulting in veterans contracting Hepatitis C from a colonoscope (Tasker, 2011), to more current issues with access and timeliness of care for veterans ("Memo shows VA gaming appointments system to hide wait

There are currently twenty two million Veterans in the United States of America. These are men and women who selflessly volunteered to serve in our armed forces to protect our freedom knowing that one day that the cost of that may be there life. It takes a special kind of person to put your life on the line to defend people’s freedom and way of life that they have never even met and some won’t appreciate and others will even hate them for. Some of these men and women have been overseas for months

and care and get hit with the reality of poor care from the Veteran Health Administration and Department of Defense. T. Stecker, J. Fortney, F. Hamilton, and I. Ajzen, 2007, address that mental health symptoms have the likelihood to increase within post deployment for military veterans, especially for the ones who have seen combat. An estimated quarter of recent war veterans who are currently receiving care in the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Health Care System have reported mental health

A veteran if someone who served in the military, without our U.S. veterans we could not call ourselves free. These people have risked their lives for us and our country, yet their government does not help them. These people have risked everything for us, the least we can do is help.

articles identify the issue of providing mental health services for veterans with an extra emphasis on those that served in Afghanistan and Iraq (OEF/OIF veterans). It is no surprise that returning veterans suffer from both visible/invisible (physical and mental) wounds. Most veterans have this “high” expectation that they are going to receive quality care from both the DoD and VA. Unfortunately reality steps in where veterans are slapped in the face because they are receiving a lack of poor quality
