I was hit by an IED in Afghanistan, got an infection in my foot while home on leave from Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I decided to cut open the foot and drain it to relieve pressure in the foot for the ride back to Walter Reed from TN. The infection turned out to be in the bone and I will be loosing the leg below the knee next week.

  • Yea seein alot of people commenting on why I didnt go to the emergency room right away. 1st off Im not stupid, I had been dealing with infection on and off for months. I did it myself because of the pressure and pain and because I was at home on leave away from Walter Reed, going to local hospital would have been a nightmare, and was returning to WR the next day anyway. Nothing I did affected the infection in any way. They could have tried again, but it wasnt worth it, leg was worthless anyway.

  • My heart goes out to you and I thank you for your sacrifice. There is no way to ever repay you for your service and now your loss. May God hold and keep you close. Thank You.

  • Thank you so much for your service to not only keeping this country safe, but the world as well. God bless you and your family!

  • no explanation needed sir. Sorry for the end results. Those fucking IED planting cowards know they don't stand a chance against us Americans. May they burn in hell...

  • @kr4yzi32k Apparently you don't know how military service works, people sign up to serve and go where they are sent, no questions asked. They might even be called to protect you someday. No soldier goes to war with the intent to kill innocent people, that's absurd and you show your ignorance by even thinking it much less saying it. If you want to see "real" innocent killing, take a vacation to Syria.

  • @tkuth80

    I am so very sorry to hear this. Thank you for all you are doing for us.

  • Thank you for your service to our country and thank you for your sacrifice.

  • @TheUnNerved I will not thank someone who goes overseas and kills innocents and civilians. Go fuck yourself. My twisted world view is THE REAL WORLD you idiot.

  • @kr4yzi32k Thank him and everyone that preceded him for your ability to run your fucked up mouth and shared your twisted world view.

  • As long as you aren't one of the douchebag soldiers killing innocents to get your rocks off, I say thanks for your courage. If you are one of those douchebags, I hope you die in a fire. Oh and nice video.

  • Thank you for serving this wonderful country of ours. I'm a psych nurse at the James A Lovell FHCC, and I have a true appreciation for what you soldiers go through for us.
