PTSD is a real threat to our Country's heroes

Vets of any age, generation, or war do not represent the massive voting bloc that the Free Shit Army and their "foreign volunteers" do, to an entrenched .gov determined to stay in office.

You folks need to stop putting on a uniform - or allowing your kids to serve - for the country that has long devolved into the shit-hole it is today.

Imagine the sacrifices you have been making as a CIA operative (or relative of same) all these years - and what has transpired today. Or as a US citizen working/serving somewhere over in allah-land.

Keep your head on straight - literally.

OK nut case, you have pissed me off. I have a sight case of PTSD from Nam. Fortunately not a bad case, but it could have been if it were not for a lot of support from loved ones and my wonderful wife. I still tend to get angry too fast and too often, but I never gone over the deep end. And I will never do it because I understand my problem. I am just angry because too many of my fellow Marines died in a fruitless war.

But the last ting I want to read or hear is the kind of crap you offered. If I had the opportunity to put on my Marine Corps gear agin and to go fight ISIS, I would be the first in line.

My country is not perfect, but is better than any other. So you take your Free Shit Army and their "foreign volunteers" and shove that notion where the sun does not shine.

I am not into 'My country. right or wrong.' I am into My country is still the best there is, and I am ready to die to defend it.

We need to start defending it from what really has been attacking our freedom, identity, and children's future. For all the great work our people in uniform have done against foreign threats, not one single bit has been done to halt or reverse the threat of those in DC or university academia or news networks attacking us from within. What's up with that? Do we mean what we say about fighting to protect the American way of life or don't we? Why is it somehow not just as wrong when someone with Senator or President in front of the name does the same thing we'd shoot someone with Ayatollah or Mao or Kim Jong in front of theirs for doing?

It sure can't be helping our guys coming home and seeing the country they sacrificed for hamstrung, broke, overrun by communist psycho ninnies, laws so complicated you nearly need a law degree just to run a simple business, taxes on everything, our history and cultural pride ignored or spat on by schools, kids allergic to everything and/or doing 3 drugs each, etc. It's enough to make any sane and aware person depressed and angry without any war experiences to deal with.

I think he ment the welfare crowd and illegals vote democrat and the millitary vote republican. Being the welfare and illegals are a larger group (wait until the illegals get to vote) than the millitary, they get all the money while the polititions let the VA rot. I have a lot of respect for vets. I am ashamed as a voter we give them poor political leaders who tend to not give the millitary what it needs to be successful both at war and at home. Like I said, that's how I read it but I'm not him.

Thanks Gunsnwater - he missed my sarcasm and slap at the system that fucks so many of us vets over. And over. And over.

Back in the 80's, I recall going to visit my uncle at the local VA during one of his frequent admittances. He was a 30+ year retiree back then and had lied to enlist in the navy towards the end of WWII.

Like every male in our family tree, we served in one service or another. The uncle chose the navy, and spent time in blue and brown water navies around the planet on every kind of boat and ship they float. I think he spent at least 3, maybe 4 tours around Nam - two on gunboats - in the Mekong. Used to talk about the pet monkey the boat had adopted.

Anyway, he was an old-skool chain smoker. He showed me where they had to go for a burn at the hospital; some shitty little plywood and plastic windbreak thrown up OUTSIDE the entrance to the building - I thought it was a temp shelter for plumbers or phone linesmen or some such.

The progressive smoking nazis gave no quarter. Not even to our crippled heroes who were shot out of B17s, blasted in trenches, torpedoed in the Slot, frozen in the Chosin, pulled out of POW camps.

As far as they were concerned; eff the vets - we are forward thinking and we got an agenda.

I hope parents today are paying attention as to how our vets are being treated - so as to keep their kids out. Let the bureaucrats, socialists, and progressives go do the heavy lifting.

You guys want to go back in to defend the Kartrashian's right to show off her fat ass - be my guest. Not me.
