    I have a grand uncle, we call him Unle Raymond. He fought in the Vietnam war, and had survived an artillery strike on his own artillery installment. Watched his friends get blown to pieces. Seeing how hard it is for him, I kind of like these parodies. It's a way of showing how disturbing it really is that we condition kids into thinking war is this epic thing, just for them to be chewn through the system after joining the forces. Took us suing the VA just to get his cash for his disabilities. He had shrapnel to the hip, and a blown out ear drum due to working arty. Said all his documents burnt up in a fire... I think that was all lies... I just think the taxmen didn't want to pay their dues. They obviously had SOME back ups somewhere considering they found them after the threat of legal action...

Daddy tried to fix the missing leg, but with no great results. He later told me "He is a great invalid of war, treat him with respect, now." This commercial brings up so much memories...

He was lucky enough to come away alive and only with minor injuries that didn't disable him physically. However, his mind remained haunted by the stuff he had seen. He had very severe PTSD, and depression, following his time after the war, but now, I'm thankful he's not suffering anymore.

      The problem is that civilians and pretty much everybody believes that the military to be anything more than a job. That's all it is. You're only part of the military for however long your contract is supposed to last. Beyond that they don't owe you anything aside from your pension. Those are the facts. If you work for Target for 4 years, you're not gonna expect Target to foot your medical bills 3 years after you've left the company. The military is the exact same way. Movies and media romanticize the military as if its this higher calling entity, but it's really not. It's just like any other organization/business. You're just a cog in a giant machine. A very replaceable cog. It's honestly your job as a vet to not bite off more than you can chew and to know your limits before you break them.
