His view shows his age and lack of understanding about suicide and its causes, strength has nothing to do with it .. I have 2 of My former soldiers who could attest to the strength issue both on opposite ends of topic but they can't they both are dead from Suicide..
suicide is not just a veteran issue nor just an issue for those who have seen stuff its a national issues

"His view" is that some vets come back fine, some come back broken, and that we need to make sure we can help the ones who need help, and that we are currently falling short of that obligation.
Yes, that's deeply offensive and insulting.
You posted one part of a sentence. You did it for a reason, to make it look like he was disparaging those who "can't handle it". When you look at the entire comment, it is crystal clear what he meant.
Again, there are a million legitimate reasons to question this guy's character. This isn't one of them.
