David “Mac” MacEwen highlights a critical gap in the American system regarding military personnel.

The author emphasizes the urgent need to provide comprehensive support to service members long before they transition into veterans who face the risk of incarceration, addressing the systemic failures in post-deployment care and long-term stability for these individuals.
