During his final years as an Army commander, retired Col. Victor Suarez began noticing a troubling trend that put troops at risk in the battlefield, and Americans at home too.
“We found that basic things like getting access to ketamine for battlefield use, for pain management or antibiotics for those soldiers that were deployed in locations where there were bacterial infections, some of those things were more challenging to get into this system because of drug shortages globally and in United States and our supply chains,” Suarez told a Just the News, No Noise television special on Thursday.
“So this is not only a big risk to those service members and their families, but also veterans that are now, you know, relying on the VA and the basic U.S. system to support their healthcare needs as they go forward,” he added.
Suarez took his concerns to Congress, giving bombshell testimony that alarmed senators and prompted lawmakers to begin demanding questions.
