This guy is undoubtedly bright but the job probably, could have taken a toll on him. His processing of words is too slow and his reaction to questions. His years of service to CIA with the threats against his life every single day is far from easy to handle even if the person is brave or smart. Soldiers who were assigned in Afghanistan, many of them, had PTSDs and some other psych problems later on. It's an honorable job for serving the country but it also involves probable compromise of mental faculties.
yeah, that third time he talked about his chance of dying being, "high... not medium... not low... not just possible..." along with a few other moments, got me to look up from my home activities.
Is it just me or does he sound drunk or high? He's very awkward, whoever said he was articulate is nuts--- not one of his jokes hit and he was just all over the place.
@@Garrus1995 yes, he does. it's in his book. when he got fed up with the agency, shortly after he got off his meds and alcohol, his doctor told him he should seek therapy. Working in a war zone takes a lot out of a man
You're right, he talked about how he struggled with drugs and alcohol and saw a therapist, but I never really thought it meant he had PTSD. I thought it was more to do with how much of a toll working for the Agency took on his personal life and he was just generally depressed by it all. Guess I never read closely enough to think he was struggling with PTSD.
