Bipartisan group of 34 senators ask VA to help struggling veterans after botched Afghanistan withdrawal
Fox News
A bipartisan group of 34 senators sent a letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough calling on the department to hasten connecting struggling Afghanistan veterans to mental health services in the aftermath of the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan and Kabul bombing, which killed 13 U.S. service members.
In the letter reviewed by Fox News, the senators noted that the VA "recently sent out correspondence" to veterans containing digital resources "encouraging them to seek help if they are experiencing distress related to their service in Afghanistan or if they need any mental health services." "This is the first step, but the VA should go beyond this initial outreach," the senators wrote. "As you know, veterans aged 18 to 34 have the highest suicide rate among former service members."
