Jack Murphy missed the story
This story focused on how there is a stigma of reaching out help. It is clear that SFC Froede did reach out for help in 2009 and was again referred for help by Great Skill. The story is that when he went for help he didn't get help. This is trend specifically on fort meade - there has been at least Inspector General inspection into the mental health facility there - why? for the same thing that happened to SFC Froede - a Marine went to get help at the mental health facility on base, was told he wasn't a danger to himself or others and then jumped out a window 48hours later. Same thing with the VA crisis hotline - that HUNG UP on a veteran who then killed himself. The issue is not people reaching out the issue when they do reach out the government has decided it's cheaper for the veteran to die than to get treatment and there is no accountability when these facilities and crisis lines fail veterans.
