great vid.

i think this would be way more appropriate as a vid response to a vid done on this subject from justa11en called 'Veteran Suicides, PTSD, and Election 08': DOES AMERICA CARE?'

Thanks

Talking about it helped me a lot. But not to a camera. You need a support group and support from your family. We need to educate our families about this illness. Most of us push our self away from our family or they push us away. I use compassion for others to help remove the anger and emptiness inside of me. I instill the positive in my life. I am done with the VA! I am not asking for handouts I am asking for help!

You can help. Every $10 donation to a raffle (win $50K) allows us to train service dogs for these men and women. Think about it? helpkyriadotcom

Your not alone bro, im a Marine veteran, had brothers murdered over seas, i saw a few of them killed, and i still to this day have nightmares man. It will never get any easier, i go to the psych and all that bullshit, but it doesnt help. I go to PTSD group tomorrow, so hopefully that will help me out more. But yeah man, some of the things that happened to you over seas will stay with you until you die bro.

@93CFD im not sure theres exactly a cure but alot of people can get over it over time with the help of a psychologist or therapist

[93CFD]

@chanamang is there a cure for it???

Come on man, from one vet to another. You're using cheese and wine language talking to a beer and peanuts crowd.

I know what that patch is.......... Cool it with the dramatic talk buddy

[chanamang]

Do you still have PTSD?

[MrEnkiG]

You have a voice. But more importantly you have a listening ear that wants know. I wouldnt blame if you said "we're all fucked. fuck humanity. Im goin bush". People like you should be our leaders. Don't be silenced. Please get more soldiers to tell thier storey.
