The executive order instructs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to hire 800 peer-to-peer support counselors for mental healthcare and to increase the VA veteran crisis line's capacity by 50 percent before the end of the year.

The order also tells the VA to work with the Defense Department to develop a national suicide prevention campaign, and for the VA, DOD and Health and Human Services to conduct a study about the causes and treatments of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

The veterans-focused executive order comes as Obama is visiting Fort Bliss on the two-year anniversary of his announcement at the same location that ended combat operations in Iraq.

good, cause today a 23 year old ex marine shot and killed several people, including himself, at a grocery store he was working at.
 
How about stop starting wars overseas and we won't need to have all these soldiers needing help with ptsd and other problems...they won't shoot up grocery stores and military bases....Oh and I am curious if his EO includes kidnapping soldiers who post patriotic things on facebook...
