I don't get why they wanna make sure there's a suicide prevention person at every VA center all the time. Seems like a waste of money to me. I mean, I get that it's important to help veterans who are struggling, but do we really need someone there 24/7? I just don't see how this is gonna make a big difference. #confused Overall, I just think this bill is unnecessary and could be better spent on other things for veterans.
