A Soldier With PTSD

An Iraq War Veteran is enraged by several people with peace signs on Stockdale Highway in B----------, CA. With army style fatigues, the man jumps out of his truck going Westbound in the middle of rush hour, yelling and cursing at the people holding peace signs. Are these symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)? With a woman sitting in his truck, he quickly leaves after a few minutes of irate screaming and cursing. About twenty minutes later the man came back, traveling East bound, blocking traffic in the Northbound turning lane. This time he was alone. He pinned on his war medals wearing three medals of honor and carrying a neatly folded flag, perhaps a relative or friend who died serving in duty. The man was extremely upset and a testament to the unmeasured and detrimental effects of war that hit every one at home. Both times, including in this video, the man recklessly endangers lives and in a threatening manner. We need to take care of our soldiers and deal with the trauma of war. Our soldiers who know the need for freedom of speech should not be trained and suffer so badly so as to threaten individuals with political signs or terrorize and endanger the general public.

The best way to deal with that guy is to remind him that those people are not protesting him or his service to his nation. They are protesting the war itself -- which begins in the American culture.

Soldiers do not cause the war; they are like firefighters rushing to put it out.

They need to remind this soldier he is a hero. Rational discussion will not work in that situation; only loving respect will, true appreciation for his noble sacrifice.

I'm free whether you choose to be a murdering militant goon or not, i never asked you yet my taxes still fund your actions against my wishes. They haven't done shit for mine or anyone elses freedom, and they're too afraid to admit that. How has this war made us free? Have you been in La-La land for the last decade? We're closer to a Police state now more than ever. Your idea of "sacrifice" is to be a compliant drone in a ruthless machine that cares nothing about freedom

You guys are fucking assholes, fuck y'all. Piss me off.

he doesnt think that people holding peace signs are his enemies. He has watched his comrades pay the ultimate sacrifice for a country that is incredibly flawed and he comes home to people who cant even show support for their fellow Americans who have put their lives on the line so that you can stand on the corner and hold a peace sign. its disgusting is what it is that people cant even show a little respect to someone whos risked it all so that you can continue to live in safety

Fuck that lady! She has no once of respect, they served to save your life. My dad has been in the Army for 20yrs. He was in the Gulf war for abit, but not too long, and nowadays he's kinda easily irritated. He's threatened my mom a few times (Partly cause she's a bitch) but yeah, being a veteran is tough. My dad wakes up WAY too early in the morning looking for something to do. I respect all Vets.
