Researchers say the higher medical care usage rate reflects the stress on student vets and their willingness to accept help. A new government watchdog report found troops waited more than two weeks for an urgent appointment off base.

Tim Kennedy ― a Green Beret and former UFC fighter ― is prepared to be called other things when he engages with gun owners about veterans' suicide.
