There are many others in that force who are mentally unwell…I am not making fun of this topic this is really serious….ppl who are in the armed forces must get regular physical and mental check ups……Just like pilots do sim to make sure they still know how to fly an aircraft safely I think officers need to go through something similar…RIP to S.Sgt Malone-Merchant and condolences to her family and loved ones….
