Just to let everyone know, there is a scam right now involving Spectrum service. Don't give them any information. The phone call I got said it was from Livingston New York and I normally don't answer those unknown calls, but I did this time. They were telling me my boxes needed to be changed ... I hung up on them when they asked for additional information and call Spectrum and yes it is a scam so don't give any information out.

Afghanistan withdrawal takes toll on US veterans’ mental health: retired lieutenant colonel

Veterans face mental health crises after Afghanistan withdrawal: 'Not the outcome that any of us wanted'
Three years after the deaths of 13 American service members at Abbey Gate during the hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, veterans are voicing their opinions about the toll that experience has taken on them.

Mission Roll Call CEO and retired Lt. Col. Jim Whaley gave an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital to honor those service members' sacrifices.

Mission Roll Call is a national nonprofit whose mission is to "gather and deliver the unfiltered, unbiased, and apolitical voice of veterans and their supporters across America, advocating for meaningful improvements and ensuring their concerns and ideas are heard at the highest levels of policy-making," according to its website.

A poll of veterans nationwide from Mission Roll Call found that 70% believe the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal "negatively affected the way they view America’s legacy on the Global War on Terror and their service more broadly."

Over 775,000 U.S. service members have deployed to Afghanistan since 2001. Many veterans carry uncertainty about the purpose of their sacrifice, according to Mission Roll Call.

"Unfortunately, after the Afghanistan withdrawal, there was, you know, a spike in emergency calls from veterans, suffering from anxiety and PTSD. We know that the vast majority of veterans feel betrayed from the withdrawal. It has spiked a lot of emotions," said Lt. Col. Whaley.

According to the National Center for PTSD, 7 out of every 100 veterans live with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The same center discovered that veterans who have deployed are three times as likely to develop PTSD than their domestic counterparts.

"Our poll shows, through Mission Roll Call, that 72% of veterans believe the Taliban's advance into Afghanistan was a reason, for their personal reflection [or] sadness. [The] vast majority of our veterans, 83%, are not satisfied with the level of accountability among senior leaders and civilians due to the withdrawal," said Whaley.

"So, when you think about the sacrifices that veterans and their families made for two decades, in the fight against terrorism, and then to have the withdrawal happen the way it did, you can understand why this causes mistrust, causes anxiety and causes a general feeling of why did I do all that? Why such a sacrifice?" he added.

Thirteen American service members, mostly Marines, lost their lives during the withdrawal while aiding in evacuation efforts on Aug. 26, 2021.

September is Suicide Prevention Month in the U.S., and Mission Roll Call seeks to meet veterans where they are regarding mental health issues, including those related to the Afghanistan withdrawal.

"We know that on any given day, we lose 22 veterans. So, that number is extraordinarily high," Whaley said. "A great embarrassment for our country. We need to get that number to zero. We need to strive as a nation to drive suicides among veterans to zero

"We've lost more veterans to suicide than we have for the entire war against terror. And that, to me, seems a tragedy."

If you or a loved one is having suicidal thoughts, dial 988 to reach the suicide hotline.

I would not understand anyone in uniform voting the regimen back in, it is a hardship to tolerate the current state of affairs from a regimen that is willing to sacrifice our lives for their oligarch ways, and to continue to put in power the very same people that tend to throw us under the bus and ...See more

To this day, neither Biden nor Harris has taken any responsibility for the excess spending that even some liberal economists warned would ignite price inflation. Worse, Harris has begun her campaign by spinning out even more spending programs which she maintains will curb rising prices. Harris want...See more

The ones left behind by Biden/Harris paid an even bigger price, and their families were given a life sentence of pain and suffering. Meanwhile, the Dems who could not be found at Arlington complained because Trump was there.

It was a tragedy. I never served in the military but the Afghanistan ?? withdrawal still seems surreal.

This is the major reason why this cowardly act of the progressive democrats needs to be investigated and the people responsible held accountable. This was a deliberate act to undermine the work of the previous administration and this was one of the unintended consequences. There needs to be accou...

NEVER trust a democrat. They will reverse positions and abandon any friend or ally for a political purpose.

Scam of the day – August 28, 2024 – Phony Weight Loss Drug Scams

By Steven Weisman, Esq. on August 27, 2024

The popular weight loss Ozempic is in low supply and high demand even at a cost of almost $1,000 per month if it is not covered by insurance. As a result scammers are using social media, phishing emails and phony online pharmacy websites to sell worthless phony Ozempic or what they say is generic Ozempic to unsuspecting victims. The security software company McAfee recently issued a report in which they found 176,871 phishing emails and 449 phony pharmacy websites related to selling phony Ozempic just between January and April. They also used fake profiles on Facebook and advertisements on legitimate websites to sell their worthless, counterfeit Ozempic. Often the scammers will try to appear to be Canadian pharmacies.

No generic form of the drug has been approved by the FDA, and what people are receiving may be either ineffectual or even harmful. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy has a list of websites selling fraudulent and unsafe medications. Before even considering buying a prescription drug online, you should see if the site you are considering is legitimate.

In many instances, the scammers ask for payment through cryptocurrencies, gift cards Zelle and Venmo, which are indications of a scam since legitimate businesses do not demand payment in this manner although scammers do because of the anonymity of these payments and the difficulty in stopping the payments. Some scammers operating these phony websites appear to offer the option to pay by credit card, but when you try to do so an error message appears and you are compelled to pay in one of the methods preferred by the scammers.

TIP

Although it is still technically illegal to purchase prescription drugs from Canada either directly or over the internet, federal officials using enforcement discretion as provided by law generally do not get involved with prescription drug shipments for personal consumption. The first thing anyone considering ordering prescription drugs from Canada should do is make sure that they are dealing with a legitimate Canadian pharmacy that requires a prescription from an American doctor. It is easy to research this online. Any online pharmacy that promises to sell you prescription drugs without your obtaining a prescription is a scam, plain and simple.

Some security software can recognize websites of scammers and are worth getting.
