gwydion* I am genuinely proud of the President for reversing the policy that prevented him (and other presidents) writing to/contacting the families of soldiers who killed themselves abroad. His speech on the occasion, discussing the need for soldiers to have access to appropriate psychiatric support really moved me. It's such a huge problem, and traditionally the military tries to sweep it under the carpet and stigmatizes folks getting help, all of which only makes the problem worse. i salute the President for making a real effort to do the right thing and use what influence he has to make things better for soldiers on this issue.

Who wouldn't want to see Misha Collins playing a gay asskicking super hero? Omnomnom.
