Just back from Afghanistan? I don't have to mention PTSD.

I doubt that she waited for him to come home so that she could make false allegations. We notice that he was never charged for threats. She IS somebody. This isn't just about him.

I pray steps are taken to try to ensure that she is safe and he is safe until whatever is best for both of them is determined. I pray both of them can trust enough to accept whatever help is separately offered. I noticed in online comments that the Tacoma Washington police chief murder-suicide is mentioned in relation to this situation - Tacoma, where the chief's wife's allegations were made known, no action was taken, and quickly both were dead. From appearances this doesn't look a lot different, but the public is not privy to whatever may be, and hopefully is, happening behind the scenes.

God be with everybody.

We, the public, hold our breath because that is all that we can do.
