He is in trouble, and that worries me. They are going to pump him full of drugs and try to get a false confession for something.

Conspiracist alert. Maybe you should brag some more about your supersecret false flag covert ops experience.

This guy seems a bit disturbed to me. Given all the issues with non-treatment of post active duty military for things like PTSD and depression, etc, they may have either saved his life or someone else's... Or... They may find he's just a bit angry about his situation and let him go.

You can't expect everyone on earth to know that those were the lyrics to a song. I certainly didn't.

The sad thing is we just dump our troops back into daily life instead of caring for them on their return. There should be many more resources and treatment options available for veterans.

There is a lot that happens in folks minds when they have been to war, in a small unit, always expecting death could be right around a corner. Crazy ideas can fester and grow in closed, irrational conditions like that and then we just bring em back and say, "There ya go pal, good luck and enjoy that civilian job hunt!"

My brother came back from two tours as a Marine and let me tell you. He is a fundamentally different person. That's strange in psychology terms because it's much like a mental break. At his core, he is not the same man he was.

Anyway, I hope this man gets some help and we don't see him disappear down the rabbit hole some are imagining or worse yet turn up having harmed himself or someone else.

Well said. The current time frames being experienced (some being close to a year in length) by MANY veterans for merely hearing whether their claims for treatment are going to be accepted by local veterans administrations (let alone how long it may then take to get the treatment itself) is a current national disgrace, and that's coming from someone who has never served in the military. I was considering the Air Force when I came of age, but my dad (an Army veteran) suggested that my particular talents would be better utilized elsewhere.

Rachel Maddows' book Drift - The Unmooring of American Military Power is an informative look into just how far away the people who run our current military have strayed from the original concepts for a militia, and the responsibilities we should have towards that militia, that our founding fathers had in mind.
