Plot Hole?
Where Did They Get Their Money?
shareWhen Will and Tom go into the city for supplies, a scene shows them going into the VA hospital, where Will is obviously a patient. Why else would he go there? His need for isolation from people is something soldiers with PTSD suffer from, for which they receive VA benefits. Later, at the camp where Will is recovering from his injury, Tom is looking thru some of his papers and finds a headline article in the NY Times titled "A Unit Stalked by Suicide, Trying to Save Itself." This reinforces that he is a former soldier receiving benefits from the VA for PTSD.
Plus it seems he was selling his prescribed drugs (which he also got from his visits to the VA hospital) to the guy (dealer?) at the camp in the park for an extra money.
