      dml190....I know , it's so sad to see war hero's unemployed on the streets. They don't deserve it . There's not enough help out there for them . They deserve the best possible treatment. It disgusts me how they're treated . I went somewhere some of these men were sent for so called "help". It wasn't for soldiers , it was for ordinary Jo public. These men were traumatised , and needed specialist care. I told them so too . I felt so bad for them . Not one of those men are alive now. They pressed the self destruct button . It pains me to think about it , they were decent human beings , some turned to drink to cancel out the trauma, and the only other place available to them , was a monthly meeting in a pub. Our society has let them down considerably. If I had the money I would help them , and make sure no middle man syphoned off the profit.

    You only truly experience life when you're on a knifes edge. In that moment life becomes so crystal clear and simplified.
    You'll never truly appreciate life until you've nearly lost it. It's hard concept for standard civilians to understand, hence why Russell started laughing
