  • It is disgraceful that people use the comment section of this video as a launching point to bash Obama. This video is about a tragedy that has been going mostly unnoticed for decades, not mosques or democratic spending habits. You should be ashamed of yourselves, its because of people like you that nothing changes in our support of veterans. Keep bickering about left and right wing talking points while the Americans of all faiths that serve us get left out in the cold, often too literally.

  • Just so you know, I'd go in a New York minute, but I'm 60 years old and they won't take me. Supporting the troops or the war doesn't mean you're a "chickenhawk" if you don't or can't volunteer/enlist. I support the troops and their mission 110%. Other people who support the troops and the mission? My 14 year old daughter. Too young to enlist. Wife. 54 y/o. Like me, too old to enlist. But we're damn proud of those who serve and we support OUR FINEST and THEIR MISSION.

  • Great Video period!

  • I think Bush is trying to cover up his mistake by getting rid of people who served in the military during the Iraq war. Most of the soldiers are being bullied followed and harassed. Some of them have been placed on the FBI Terror Watch List and are watched constantly. They don't have normal lives, and are constantly worrying about their survival. Many of the suicides are forced suicides induced by the government.

  • It's bad but there's still a lot to live for. Things will get better for you with time.

  • I'm an Iraq vet. Every day I think about suicide. I get so angry about what's going on in America. I didn't put my uniform on and go over ther so that when I returned mexicans were doing all the construction jobs in my area. Gasoline prices tripled. The cost of everything at the store increased, the value of my home dropped. I'm doing odd jobs for peanuts to scrape by which takes up all the time I could be using for family and school. So what is to live for?

  • with a divorse rate of 50% for the general population... you have a near 100% divorse rate for military if this is true.

  • Well done. View count needs to be 10 million. Thank you.

  • pardon my harsh views of this tragedy:

    but why the fuck is NOBODY helping our soldiers,

    yet they're except to support this country?!?!

    what a joke that im ashamed to be american nowadays.

    my heart & pain goes out to the soldiers who cant find an way out,

    but always keep faith, stay strong & Jesus blessed our soldiers.

    i blamed the politicians, congress & other scumbag out there.

    i hope you guys read this of what causes you're NOT doing.

    fuck going to war.

    im sorry for this......

  • fuck that treat me with some money

  • I'm a service connected disabled veteran and retired soldier. My last unit pretty much told me I was on my own. I had to get a lawyer to get any medical treatment performed.

    It was a sad thing to happen after 26 years of military service.

  • Excellent video. Thank you @VetsPrevail on Twitter for forwarding this to me. Veterans deserve our love and support. As a mental health advocate, survivor of two of my friends suicides (non-military) and an American, it is my honor and obligation to re-Tweet, re-post and forward.
