Is there simply not enough mental healthcare infrastructure that it's overwhelming to the VA/Other so it's just a wait and see approach?
You nailed it. We, as a country, have gutted mental healthcare budgets for years now. This is an odd fact being that it runs counter to the supposed renewed focus and attention mental health issues are receiving. It is almost as if it is lip-service with little or no substance.
This coupled with the resistance to treatment/help in the Veteran community, for whatever reason, be it their training, their natural inclination, or a combination of the two, makes reaching them difficult. It is a sad situation all the way around.

A lot of active duty troops are still fearful of being chartered out of the military, and rightfully so. All it takes is a shitty Chain of Command to ruin your career, granted it also entails shitty things the soldier does as well.
But if you’re junior enlisted you get punished more severely than officers for the same offense
