Retired Marine with PTSD shares trauma he received from Afghanistan | USA TODAY 

True, very True

My dad too❤

It’s sad and disgusting; what’s even worse is that there are still those out there who think military members struggling with PTSD is a sign of weakness.

They need medical care a proper one.....

A horrible one.....

The government is despicable beyond words

Sorry u had no life n went n fought in a corrupt war for old losers lmao n got all fucked up in tha head 😅

Wow I never knew a rating percentage was required to qualify. I thought as long as the injury etc was present as a result of you serving that would be enough smh. Well do you at least get the retirement benefits?

He can whipe his but with that thank you for your service....small people losing mind and going in war for the people on top who profite after that...and they get thank you for your service...america is a joke 🤣

What service? He was sent to a foreign country to kill people for no reason

Thank him for telling the truth!

Amen

Amen

And all for nothing, what a waste of money

Yeah, don't feel sorry for the innocents he helped to kill. Another puppet in the hands of the rich, this is what happens when you give in to blind patriotism. I wish him healing, but I also wish for him to be an example.

@@P4yn3 what a waste of life on both sides

They're resting until Jesus returns.

They're asleep

@acceptthetruth3647 Jesus is the son of God. He is the messiah.

@acceptthetruth3647 Keep your holy books to yourself, there is no heaven and no hell, those children lost their only life, that's the most tragic part about it, you can lie to yourself to feel better and imagine they are in a better place, because you're not strong enough to face dark truth. That's why human laws are important, and geneva convention, there is no after life, you have only one.

​@@anubis4695 I think you can kiss my ass.

What about the people whom the war was fought in their house, sure you could say their tribal leaders and elders made the bad decision to invite alqaeda, but the trauma Afghans have as a whole is much worse than these vets who are taken care off

that should be a requirement

Shut up, good people went on wars in the past without ptsd and were smarter than the people of today.

That's a the life of a marine lol

Imagine what he did

Actually he caused this "horrifying" memories to himself .. instead of having pity for him you better feel sorry for the innocent people he killed you gen.ocide lover

keeping ur country safe randomly bombing a country💀💀??

@@dcba321 The soldiers realise the side they were on was wrong

​@@pranavr0ylittle too late realise that now huh? So now we're giving credit just because they feel bad now? Yeah nah mate. It really doesn't work like that.

"Keeping us safe" were they defending US territory by any chance?

@@FF-le3ps what?????

​@@FF-le3psI hope you find someone who loves you

@@FF-le3ps I hope that too

what kind of angel killing innocent in Afganistan, ruined Iraq. a lot of killing.

Man just don't do it, you're gambling with your life

@@fahdsbiti3974 it's my dream to be in the military. If I have to fight some stupid war then so be it. And if I die then I go to heaven. But I won't die unless God chooses it to be my time

@@Baconcatboyhomie what branch? Also you will be joining in peace time. My marine battalion was the last one to receive global war on terror medal on our deployment to the middle east. Also if you’re afraid of PTSD already we don’t want you. You will be one of those kids that think too much of the moment and looking out for the traumatic shit and not in the moment.

Sorry u had no life n went n fought in a corrupt war for old losers lmao n got all fucked up in tha head 😅

What?

WTF are you on??? Blame it on the goverments not those ppls! Shame on your stupid nonese comment. If your that though then go and fight in war then, you gonna piss your shit!

Served his country. Nothing wrong with that.

​@@LNM101carpet bombed another country. Killed thousands of innocents. Yeahh serving their country alright.

US terrorists

How so 🤔

I also what to know WHY?

@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 because they're serving the derp state/gl○bali$ts/sa¥ain't/C○mmunist cabal. Need I say more?

@@itiswhatitis7639 because they no longer fight for the cause of their nation but instead for the greed of a few leader and immoral politics that does not even care for them or their lives but only the leader's own personal and political agendas. And in no way shape or form, I am disrespecting the soldiers. I have a hell of respect for whatever they have shown or done in the face of death with the immense bravery that the normal fears.

@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 same reply as the reply to biker girl of Georgia.

It's like a bruise that is there that no one can see. Sometimes it's ok, but then someone will bump the bruise, and it'll begin to hurt for a long time afterwards. My wife says I used to be this happy go luck guy. Now, always serious, angry, ready for a fight a lot of the time. You're not always there mentally because your mind is else where. People stay away from you. So you feel isolated. I really don't think there's a way out.

​@@gileshurst3470 thank u for ur service bro and your definitely not alone all though the big crowd of America that appreciates you can still feel like your alone your not

⁠@@gileshurst3470I don’t have war PTSD, but I do have CPTSD. Lots of Americans and global citizens/humans do for any reason, and a lot of it starts with our parents. I hope there’s a way “thru” but there doesn’t seem a way “out”, thank you for your service

Oh my god your dense

Lol maybe you should worry about yourself

Yes, your Writing deserves FULL RESPECTS because GOD'S Word also says, "...Thow Shall Not Kill..."

Hey, I wanna respond to this, I realize it’s late but I desperately hope you see this and respond. What you just said, as “righteous” as you think it was, is probably the most insulting, horrible, pathetically naive thing I have ever heard. I myself am a Christian, half of my family has had some sort of involvement in the military, starting with my great grandfather in WW2. Let’s talk about WW2 shall we? 8 million Jews, 5 million other ethnic minorities and disabled persons, all either executed in cold blood, or starved and tortured until they physically could not continue. They died like that, no, they were killed, life snuffed out in the most atrocious way possible. And my great grandfather lost his leg attempting to free those prisoners, trying to stop the massacre that would’ve continued on if your unbelievably terrible beliefs were true and followed. Do you believe he was “charged with murder” in God’s kingdom? Seriously? You must be 10 years old because the amount of absurdity that comes with your statements are just unreal. My uncle did 2 tours in Afghanistan, he can’t talk about it without shaking, but the one memory that brings him joy was the night he shot down a suicide bomber who was yards away from a young girl and her mother, my dad later told the bomber was forced to wear his vest, and my uncle knows that, but still he’s able to look past that sad, dark reality to realize that he saved that young girl’s life, he gave that mother decades with her daughter. So when he dies, you believe he’ll be locked away in Hell? War and death has been present for all of human existence, but soldiers? Soldiers are not murderers. Both sides of every war believed they were innocent, and I’m sorry you can’t comprehend this, but the death of 1 innocent, to save the lives of thousands, is not only justified, but if God loves us how true Christian’s know he does, he’d encourage that. In your naive world the monsters would rule the world, they’d kill, steal, and destroy without question, and all of us? Our lives would be snuffed out, or we’d be tortured in atrocious ways, that is a world without soldiers. I believe that’s what Hell would be like, but you’ll be able to check for yourself soon. You are the reason God’s love is becoming so hard for people to accept. YOU. You are the reason people are turning away from him. You’re naive, pathetic, self inflated importance. Do you SPEAK for God? Has he told you that all the soldiers protecting their families will be charged with murder? When you arrive to be judged by Him you will be thrown down to burn, I promise that, because it’s obvious you are not a true God loving man, a true follower of Christ knows that he loves, and he forgives, and yet you say these men will be charged with murder if they kill anyone. You don’t understand God, you are the worst type of fanatic because you genuinely believe you’re right, and when you are emit allowed into his kingdom it will be a real wake up call. I truly hope you learn to use logic as well as faith, but I believe you’re too far gone, I just wish you would see your horrible thoughts for what they are, unholy, egotistical, and just wrong. I’m begging you to respond

Thats true the usa send soldiers to fight for the oil not the ”terrorists”

USA and NATO were the terrorists

Why did they have to kill 10 innocent people? And why should we feel bad for them and not the people they killed? And why are they considered terrorists on their own soil?

Yeah hope he suffers eternity BTW I am somali too

such as same we have none for you

@@maybenot9737 I don’t need sympathy though. I’m not one sharing my trauma. It’s this clown

@@yhtaha-tb5fr alshabaab is funded by the west

​@@yhtaha-tb5fr yh americans are good at killing militants, but do you know how much it costs the u.s to go to war and kill these people? Trillions of $ U.s spent 8 trillion in Afghanistan and iraq To put it in perspective, if you spent 10 million every day from the time of jesus christ, you STILL wouldn't have spent 8 trillion

Ok keyboard warrior.

You need Jesus you don't understand what he went through , why don't you go fight in a war ? You're probably
