POPS101 GI suicides must not be an afterthought Cutting V.A. benefits; horrific conditions in V.A. hospitals; making G.I.s pay for lost equipment, health insurance and some travel expenses; not providing the proper equipment or enough equipment; families having to spend money on proper helmets and vests; reclassifying injuries so they're not covered by the V.A.; not planning for or providing mental health care; extending tours of duty; gutting the National Guard leaving their loved ones at home with unprotected borders and no help in the event of an attack or national disaster.
