Soldier mode ACTIVATE!

[cetter88]

I know a Sgt who has told a particular soldier that if he gets shot, he will walk over him. He has harrassd this soldier from day 1 at his duty station. The Army sucks!! Family values and army strong???????BS!!!!! They care? I don't think so!!

[cetter88]

And yet I know a Sgt who told has told ONE soldier in his platoon who has said. "You get shot, I will walk OVER you!" Army is bullshit!!!

@refugeeca mental health/ behavioral health professionals don't just give out meds. Meds are the last resort if anything. Getting help is having the courage to say "I need help" . Being willing and open to finding out what is making them think the way that they are thinking. What triggered the current situation and fixing it from there. There is always a solution no matter how long the road looks

[askeenable]

@raywilliamsjohansen.... If you were in the military you'd know that there is an MOS specifically for behavioral health as well as combat stress. 68X Behavorial Health Specialist. Who works hand and hand with docs, psychiatrist, social workers, clinical psychologist and many to help soldiers and their family free of cost.

[refugeeca]

I think the reason people dont buy into this is that they never say what getting "help" is. I dont buy into mental health proffessionals and i dont wanna take medication.

@refugeeca

hmm ?

i believe in mental toughness but wouldn't pay someone for it

[KruNae]

@refugeeca The whole point of this video is to inspire soldiers to "reach out" to those around them. That's the start of getting help, this could save a life.

[colombiantom]

@refugeeca a psychologist or a psychiatrist is just a guide to help you realize your problems, which we all have, and make a plan on how to counter those problems. you cant't expect him/her to solve those problems for you

[loxegwen]

God Bless our Troops. I wish civilians would be more responsible for their military

[tom500k]

Suicide, dying in battle and killing people half way around the world = direct and collateral damage of buying into the Army's lie that war itself is OK. War just enriches the billionaire$, politician$, the general$.

God pity the grunts and their victims and their families and their victims' families. Will God forgive us if we let Obama & Petraeus push their inhuman war against the people of Afghanistan into its 10th year?

thats why im going now at 18, b4 i get married man because women arent that worthy anymore

[20GATE91]

@BRANDON85L yes and no. But don't get married young. YOu have alot to live for. Enlist in the Army, do what ever you want to do, succeed, get married when you are like 29+. Hope all goes well

[XxTheHellKnightxX]

.....and people say soldiers are heartless. Bless all these men and women. and @558holly I'm gonna keep this in mind too.

[20GATE91]

@XxTheHellKnightxX In a way soldiers are heartless. They kill other human beings. But They aren't killing them for fun. They are killing for the freedom and justice of others.

[BrittGuy08]

Heartless? You are wrong if you think this. Saying this you probably have never served in uniform. Had they no heart we would not be seeing the problems with suicide, PTSD, depression, etc. We take people with real hearts, real feelilngs and we ask them to do the unimaginable and then you have the nerve to call them heartless. No, they have hearts and those hearts are strained and breaking daily.

[busterwhite0]

keep God with you

[588holly]

I will keep this in mind. Starting basic on the 17th of August. at Ft. Benning.
