> in many cases no degree of counseling would help
In many cases? Really?
> for counseling to help it needs to address the root causes of the problem for that person,
That just isn't true. There are cognitive, behavioral and a combination of both that help people all the time. Therapy that focuses on changing behavior patterns (ie CBT) and not on your root causes are often most effective. Many therapists also use therapy dogs because they're so effective, something this guy railed against like it was turning students into children.
> I'm more concerned over the suicide rates of soldiers.
How is that related?
Suicide is the leading cause of death[1] for college students and this guy is going to criticize the addition of resources to help handle stress? It just reads like ignorance.
