It is sad to see him go especially under the stigma that will haunt him. I hope he can find peace with himself despite the medical condition which he will struggle with.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS??? Those who have been diagnosed and are being treated but are being told well maybe we can remuster you or you will eventually get pensioned off once you are no longer a threat to yourself or society (I think more the latter than the former). I guess you have to be a general to grab a headline. Those who the media decides aren't worth a story continue to serve and suffer. Although treatment has improved (on the medical side), they are still in many cases viewed as malingering by their peers and those in authority over them. What will we do for them?
