I'm not on social media much anymore, but I feel like I should say something... not as a cry for attention, but because I'm pi**ed and everyone is an idiot.
This fella out in California brought shame on us and our Corps.
You're not going to find what you need to survive in the chaotic civilian world at the bottom of a bottle, glass pipe, needle, va**na, or magazine.
Improvise, adapt, and overcome. His weakness was fueled by well meaning ignorant people full of bu****it and minuscule intelligence.
The government is notoriously bad at healthcare because it's not meant to provide it, I don't care what government you point to... it's all bad. The government does two things sorta well... fight wars and referee it's economy, but once you start over taxing it with your petty problems it starts to get bad at the things it's supposed to be good at.
The VA can't fix emotional scars no matter how much money you want to throw at it, so stop. You have to want to better yourself for your own sake and those around you. The military life is one of rigid order, while the civilian world is one of barely controlled chaos, if you wish to survive then you have to learn how to be flexible. The bulk of the people out here are emotionally cannibalistic and/or parasitic, and if you punch them in the mouth for their crap then they can have you thrown in jail because it's your fault that they drive you insane.
Art, my faith, and meditation helped me grow, I highly recommend it for everyone.
