    Hello Nivardo. Peter Martuneac, whom you referenced at 34:30, is one of my sons. He sent me the link to your interview here. I appreciate the first-hand perspectives you spoke of from the deployment you shared with Peter in 2011. Good to hear you're involved as a vet helping vets.

    At 41:05 he's talking about the Wolfhound. I was a wolfhound operator during my one tour in Afghanistan. You can intercept radio signals from a broad range of frequencies and even listen in. If you have two or three operating in sync you can actually get grid locations of the signals so in case you want to call for fire or even hunt them down. If you are running just the one, at least give you an azimuth and an approximate location by distance since the single unit has 8 antennas that the unit will basically take the signal strength of each antenna and calculate a distance and direction.

    I felt a lot of guilt for not re enlisting and going back. Martin, Gross, Blesi were outstanding. Favela was a great dude. A true machine gunner. Gross carried the SAW for 1st squad. Blesi had the Mark11 and Martin carried the 16/203. Carusi was another one. Tough guys. Great guys. I felt bad for leaving them behind. Definitely remember Martuneac. Cortez-Peck, Grant’s black ass. Incredible junior marines. Hallock was already a combat vet from the army.. just great guys. They’re all warriors. Semper Fi. 3/4 Lima Co. 1st plt. ((MAIN EFFORT)) 2006-2010.

    Nivardo, a powerful story you delivered, brother. Therapy has many forms. Do formal therapy and do activities that produce therapeutic results. Rock climbing, biking, working out, meditation, reading, volunteer work, martial arts, surround yourself with positive energy and work on removing yourself from unhealthy environments. We have all been around chaos; when we move away from it, it helps.
    Stay strong and grow stronger with each passing day brother

      For real. It should be understood though, that the Communist / Globalist element within the nation has been trying to instill those kinds of conditioned reactions into us for decades, to weaken our resolve, so they can take over the world. They don't even hide this anymore and often speak publicly about such efforts and there's still a bunch of retarded sheeple that have no idea this is happening in our country.

      Sad part is, the year before my son (2nd grade) kept having trouble with a kid. Talked with everyone at school about it and it was never addressed. Last year we moved him to a much better school. He could more than take care of himself, been in jiujitsu for over 2 years. He didn’t want to handle it that way, but I knew it was coming.

    I've been enjoying this channel since it was only a few videos large. As I listen to these men and women, the stories of PTSD... I have no idea if this helps at all, but I work with Afghan refugees who had to flee since the takeover. Hearts and minds worked. Democracy worked. An entire generation was able to go to university and get educated. They got to wear ripped jeans and enjoy freedom. This wouldn't be possible without all of you! So when you're deep in it, I want you to know they are grateful. And all your fighting!? It was NOT useless. It was not a waste of your time. People are better off because of you... And now I takeover with my work since the Taliban takeover. Thank you for your service.

      @@BackwoodTV_ The main difference is that the Marines are a specific fighting force that can attack on both land and sea. Soldiers in the U.S. Army are often responsible for attacks that occur on land. Technically, the Marines are also a part of the U.S. Navy. This, again, reinforces the notion that Marines must be ready for battles at sea, on land, and everything in between.

    You are so right about advocating for yourself. We (military as well) are not taught to see help so when we get out we are like what the hell do I do now. For other people stay connected to your local VA office and search for stuff online. You will be surprised at the available resources to you. Networking is a great tool, again not taught but force yourself because there might not be someone next to you to and although I’m not an expert by any means, I think that’s why there are suicides because they feel there is no one to turn to for help. Glad you’re doing better. Keep doing good things for yourself and others. God bless. 🙏🏼

    Remember these people volunteered for this. They were not conscripted. That alone makes our soldiers 100 times the weapon than any extremist. Other countries force military involvement.

    One of the things that would piss me off working with the grunts was asking what’s the max effective range of said weapon. Ok that’s great to know but how in the hell do the boots know what 2500 yards looks like. The MER doesn’t mean shit if you don’t know how far the distance is.

    The usual story. The school does nothing about bullying, but punishes the kid who defends himself.
