      I am reaching out to you as a veteran with major concerns with the government's systemic failures and the physical trauma caused to veterans due there severe lack in education. I am truly disheartened and at a loss for words. I am specifically reaching out to you because I believe you are one of the few with an intelligence level that may understand. I have assembled all my data as clearly as I could on a website. Please review Thank you. Www.usvaw.org
      So the basic interpretation of what you speak. The V.A wants depressed toxic veterans for the sake of studies and profits. The VA does not want uplifted, happy, pain relief for veterans by using simply 2 atoms found abbundent in nature and whip cream and legal. 1 Hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms.
      So this failure as forced veterans to use CO2. This conigtive dissonance really needs to end. I have watch this go on for over a decade now. Makes my heart weep.

    Thanks for posting this. I interviewed one of your veterans pictured here as well, and he provided some good detail on how we don't just "move on" from PTSD, but we continue to *move forward* by intentionally taking advantage of the many resources, tools, and skills that are out there. We don't choose trauma, but we can choose how we respond to it. It can break you, or you can be broken open and use it to become a more intentional, compassionate, focused individual. @warriorsroundtable

      @@blaine1124 That statement is provably untrue. A nurse watching people die of COVID is certainly serving their country and risking their life. The same goes for a teacher who survives a school shooting. How about a first responder during a natural disaster? Wildland firefighter? In fact, their contributions to society are more positive, ensuring health and enriching life instead of destroying it.
      The larger point you fail to understand is that PTSD affects the brain in much the same way, whether you are a soldier, a rape survivor, an abused child, whatever. That's why it's a documented disorder and also not called "soldiers only PTSD". The idea of comparing trauma and assigning it greater value is absurd. Instead of invalidating people you don't know, maybe take a look at the beliefs about yourself that would lead to such an aggressive, unfeeling response.

But what you are not seeming to understand is that soldiers in combat zones are living in hell in constant state of fear. We get to experience death and destruction on a scale people who’ve never been in these conditions could imagine!! It pisses me of to hear about someone claiming ptsd because they heard a gunshot or had one incident happen to them!! People seem to want to use whatever bad thing that happened to them to play victim for the rest of their lives. I know rape and child molestation among other tings are traumatic but there is help and immediate recovery assets available to civilians here at home. And also another thing that most people don’t understand is that when your in the military, you can’t quit and walk away. You are there until your dead or your enlistment is up, and even then you can be stop loss and have your enlist extended involuntarily. Cops, doctors, nurses... can quit anytime if they don’t like the boss or working conditions. Soldiers can’t!

Whether you are a Veteran or not, it is common to have reactions such as upsetting memories, increased jumpiness, or trouble sleeping after a serious accident, disaster, assault, or other trauma. If these reactions do not go away or get worse, you may have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    Iv always had a passion for skydiving. I have my license and do it recreationally on the weekends with hundreds of jumps. I always said I would never BASE jump because there is no reserve parachute and there are soo many extra factors that can kill you. I had an event happen to me in 2021 which fucked me up mentally and caused me to not want to go shoot myself, but to start BASE jumping. It wasn't because of the desire to BASE jump, but because of the desire to challenge death and not caring the outcome. I just went to branch medical on base, and they referred me to the ER. The ER said branch medical will call me the next morning for a follow up and medication. Still no call. Nobody gives a shit. You just get passed around.
