	A law bearing their son's name — the Brandon Act — lets service members seek out mental health resources outside of their chain of command. It was implemented a few years ago, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/military/congress-looks-to-strengthen-brandon-act-for-military-suicide-prevention" rel="external nofollow">but this year it could be updated</a>.

	Last month, Trump repeatedly claimed Iran had agreed to all of his demands, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/13/politics/trump-bizarre-behavior" rel="external nofollow">which to this day appears completely baseless</a>. His rhetoric about the war has been consistently, remarkably detached from reality.
</p>

<p>
	At one point, he claimed his own vice president had departed on an airplane to Pakistan to negotiate an end to the war. Except JD Vance was still on terra firma (and ultimately didn’t go).

	That’s where I met a fellow Marine whom I’m going to call “William.” William was quick-witted, magnetic, reckless in the way only a 19-year-old far from home can be. We hit it off immediately. On days off, we’d hit clubs and discos. On duty, we joked, argued, and covered for each other.
</p>

<p>
	It wasn’t profound, but it was consistent. The kind of friendship that forms in repetition—forged in boredom, pressure, and shared volume. <a href="https://thewarhorse.org/marines-suicide-note-guilt/" rel="external nofollow">We did everything together.</a>

	Childhood and teen years can be full of ups and downs. It’s normal for kids to be sad or irritable or to have trouble paying attention or interacting with others at times. But sometimes, these feelings and behaviors are signs that your child could need mental health care.

	I’m not unique. Special to no degree whatsoever and adamant that I don’t deserve the success I’ve had in life so far. If life were fair, my stupidity and naivety would have been punished long ago. But it isn’t, and they weren’t. Instead, promotion and pay raises followed me to each duty station. Commendations, awards, and a “career with unlimited potential,” I was told, lay on the path before me. I told them I was happy, and I think they believed me.

	SUBJ/COMMANDER'S INTENT GUIDANCE FOR INTEGRATED SUICIDE PREVENTION//<br>
	RMKS/1. In the pursuit of national security objectives, the sustainment of<br>
	Sailors and Marines is paramount to optimizing Quality of Service and<br>
	enhancing mission readiness capabilities. Even under demanding operational<br>
	tempos, leaders must create opportunities for their Service Members to rest,<br>
	recharge, and reconnect.<br>
	2. Establishing routines and healthy habits increases individual well-being,<br>
	resilience, and warfighter readiness.<br>
	Therefore, I urge all Navy and Marine Corps commanders to emphasize the<br>
	following three elements in their commander's intent guidance, to the extent<br>
	practicable within mission<br>
	requirements:<br>
	 a. Predictable Schedules: Maintain regular duty schedules and support<br>
	Sailors, Marines, and their families during unexpected shifts, and, whenever<br>
	possible, prioritize advance leave requests.<br>
	 b. Focused Communication: Limit after-hours and off- shift<br>
	communications to mission-critical or safety-related matters.<br>
	 c. Restorative Sleep: Prioritize quality sleep opportunities (as<br>
	outlined in Department of Defense Instruction 1010.10, "Health Promotion and<br>
	Disease Prevention," Change 3, 16 May 2022).<br>
	3. I encourage all leaders to recognize that the health and well-being of<br>
	our personnel is a force multiplier for mission success. Cultivating healthy<br>
	command climates is crucial for mitigating stressors that can contribute to<br>
	suicidal thoughts and behaviors, so commanders must find that vital balance<br>
	between operational needs and the welfare of their Sailors and Marines.<br>
	4. The integration of these three components is essential to the maintenance<br>
	of optimal resilience and mission readiness necessary for the protection of<br>
	the Nation. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to the health of our<br>
	Navy and Marine Corps family.<br>
