The VA has not one idea what the family of a psychotic vet goes through when they release them back to society. My uncle was a Vietnam Vet. We endured violence in our home on a minute to minute wait. We slept lightly. We actually had him bust a hole in a wall so much that we had no choice but to just install a window because it was easier than repair the wall. After my grandfather's death, my uncle decided to beat my bedridden brain damaged grandma nearly to death. For this a judge in our town sentenced him to 6 months in a VA hospital. Two weeks (yes I said weeks!) We were contacted by him to pick him up at a truck stop near our home. The VA released him despite the court order and it was a stack of felonies. He continued to terrorize us until thankfully he decided to move away. I still live in fear of him. I am middle aged

The VA had blood on their hands long before this event. They do not care for the veterans that are alive and in their care to this day.

As a Navy 20 year Veteran … here is my point of view … due to the mother of Eddie Ray … legally & ethically should have been “forth coming to Chris Kyle about her son’s unstable / threatening mental condition.” She knew Chris Kyle was taking him to a shooting range. I think … not only does The Dallas VA Hospital but also his mother is to blame & responsible for Chris Kyle & his buddy’s death. It was his mother that ask Chris ….. to help her son … knowing he was just released from VA Hospital for a mental issue and had been medicated & knowing he threatened to kill his family previously. If he was truly schizophrenic, he would not have been able to verbally articulate the details of the killings like he did. Schizophrenic don’t kill & call to confess what they had just done … like he did! Schizophrenic people don’t state they are schizophrenic before or after killing someone …just to use it as a defense to get away with murder.

The US MILITARY really needs to give therapy to people before they even get out. So they can be able to get back into society. The VA drops the ball A LOT.

He had an abusive experience through his teen years, when he stayed at his uncle & aunt's house, where his uncle OD-ed from his grand-dad's morphine. He was not doing well in high school and didn't much social interactions. He served for 18 months in Iraq, from September 2007 till March 2009 at Balad Air Base, which was on many occasions under Mortar fire. In 2010 he was part US Army relief effort in Haiti, where he needed to dispose thousands of bodies/day and witnessed lots of nasty scenes through the people that were struggling to survive there.

Eddy Ray was deployed out to Haiti. He had a traumatic experience with pulling hundreds of bodies out of the ocean and lining then up to bury them all in 1 grave.

Base on what I read about his military years - it does not state that he interacted with hand to hand combat because of his MOS type. He was assigned as relief aid in Haiti & I think I read he was attached (to prison guard watch) in Iraq, but not positive about that. Being a 20 year veteran myself, I do know other ex-military that are diagnosed with PTSD - I wonder what were they exposed to … to have that diagnosis. PTSD is not schizophrenia…just saying! I’m thinking this guy should have been vetted more closely before ever joining the military because he may have had mental trauma/mental issues prior to joining the military.
