US Defense Secretary Ash Carter admitted that the government should be doing more to help veterans with mental health issues, days after a former soldier randomly killed five people in an airport in Fort Lauderdale. 
"We keep learning more about how to deal with this kind of illness, we are going to learn more and have to do more absolutely," Carter said when asked on "Meet the Press" last night whether or not enough is being done to aid veterans with PTSD. 
"We have to take it seriously. We owe to our wounded warriors, 15 years now, including today and one of the most serious things I do is sign deployment orders and execute orders that send people into harm’s way," he said. 
He called PTSD one of the invisible woulds of war and not something to take lightly. 
Former National Guard soldier Esteban Santiago killed five people and wounded six in a random shooting. He toured in Iraq and disclosed how he didn't feel well mentally to his family.
