![]() | Re: Can I get a Witness? No such luck. I'll just re-post, not worth any further effort. YOU SIR, are an absolute waste of human DNA. The lack of intelligence and (more importantly) the lack of tack that you have displayed on this forum is pretty despicable. So there's really no further need for your ignorant rants, drive-by defamation, and sickening antics. Do us all a favor and break your fucking keyboard before any other innocent bystander with an opposing view is unlucky enough to run into your drug induced, belligerent ass. Fucking Neanderthal!

No further need? Refuse to read it. You obviously have a problem with my posts and simply wish to continue reading.

i am glad that you have given yourself permission to mourn the fallen. one day you will understand how deeply it effected you. cause i know that you know that it very easily could have been you sent home in a box. & that is stressful for any living thing. despite what your buddies & commanding officers told you about the shame of PTSD, that was wishful thinking on their part. tough strong men come home unsettled emotionally from (1) being shot at (2) killing other humans. i'm not saying they don't come to grips with it in the warzone so that they can continue fighting. but sanctity of life is hard to ignore. but u still feel the emotions, anger, loss, frustration. ptsd isn't just guys committing suicide or ending up in a straight jacket. ptsd causes vets to drink away the memories, alienate & abuse families and many times push their love ones so far away that they end up homeless. let me tell you, homeless vets have amazing survival skills. but that doesn't make them any less fukt in the head when they are too proud to get any help. clinging too desperately to the bs lines they were told that PTSD is a welfare scam. i don't like those ppl that spit on soldiers either, they make it even harder for me to make my reasonable points to guys like you. i reserve my DISGUST for a govt that has no problem sending 18 year old men to be killed or maimed in the line of duty but then they cut every corner possible at the VA. until they are willing to care for injured soldiers til they are old & dead, i will continue to protest unjust warfare. diplomats & politicians don't fight & die. they send you guys to do it. that is wrong unless they want to give vets the same health care that they get. congressmen get health insurance for LIFE. same should go for vets. congressmen are not dodging bullets. i am ashamed of the way the govt. tricks our vets. the military is essential to protect our land & way of life. but it is ethically wrong for them to underfund the va, reduce veteran health benefits & especially when they tell them that PTSD is a joke (which has been documented since ROMAN times and was even called "Soldier's Heart" in the Civil War). i weep for the loved ones of these vets. it took me 30 years to convince someone i loved to get help & then it was too late. the anger ate them alive. i summarized an 11 page booklet by the VA on PTSD into an easy 2 page blog (you can find it on myspace). i didn't change a word just shortened it. but who am i to you? lol in the meantime i suggest reading anything by the ex-vet psychiatrist Jonathan Shay. He isn't anti-war, he's pro-vet. he just wants you guys to recognize what's going on inside you, so you can let this anger go. cause i know you are tired of being angry. that anger keeps you alive in war. but at home it just gets in your way & isolates you. i suggest you start with Odysseus in America: "Combat Trauma and the Trials of Homecoming" by him. cause you aren't the only vet that came home to an argument that is impossible for EITHER side to win. good luck to you.

It must be noted that not all of the buddies and COs treat PTSD as a joke. The ones that have been around long enough and have seen it themselves know it's no bullshit. Part of the problem stems from the fact that a lot of Staff NCOs and junior officers (especially REMFs) haven't seen shit so they don't understand what others are going through.

"When do you go back? Can't wait" and you must have missed "faranga, hope you catch a bullet in iraq." I'm selling a book on critical reading skills... you ought to buy a copy | |

ok, that is a little over the line, but it is tricky. i dont think he's always quite as deadly serious as you guys. but granted if you say, "catch a bullet" its is a little out of line.

it means a lot to me that nyteshade understands where i am coming from, cause i know he was a vet too. i think a lot of guys think that ptsd is just the crybaby hiding in a corner. that is just not accurate for the majority of vets exposed to trauma in the field. there are hard as nail marines that did what they had to do in a kill or be killed situation & they come home a little edgy. how many ex vets do you know that have trouble sleeping? drinking problems? wife divorcing them cause they have changed from the 18 yr old she fell in love with? lost jobs because they are hyper-defensive and get into physical altercations when provoked? these are just symptoms. and its usually manageable when they are freshly back in the states. but the anger becomes exhausting though not just for the vet, but the ppl around them too. the 20 year ages into a 50 year old & they have complications that could have been avoided if they had just CONFRONTED the trauma when they got home. that book i mentioned? the foreward was written by ex-POW, Sen. John McCain. its not a bleeding heart book, its just dealing with the ugly truth about coming home on the defensive. cause there are plenty of hateful punks to go around & its a waste of energy to try to put them all in their place.
