All, I read an article today on CNN that kind of made me mad and I just wanted to get your opinions on it. Frist let me start out by saying I am not in any way tryin to downplay this womans grief, nor can I begin to know what she is going through. Ok the back ground is this women in Bangor Maine is blameing the military for her husbands suicide because he killed himself after going on a gambling binge. Some of the so called experts said that all military members were "pre-desposed" to gamblin because they joined the military. Well as a retired U. S. Navy veteran I take offense to this statement. I didn't become an addit nor did I grow up around gambling so how can I be pre-desposed to it? Just because the slot machicne were there in the clubs didnt mean you had to use them.
