To me this is the worst and I have to go around everyday knowing that I feel uncomfortable toward men of the same ethnicity, that’s the hardest part for me. I took myself out of feeling this way but isolating myself. I get groceries delivered, stay home, even quit going to college in person bc it just wasn’t good for me mentally.

I've been following this channel for months now and watching lots of their videos. I got a lot of hope for myself and my case just from watching this one video.
I was watched taking a shower every morning for over three months by two other men in tech school. When one of them told their GF, she told me. I reported them. I had to go back to see what was happening. I was told, “they denied it.” I said, “of course they denied it.” I don’t trust reporting to my chain of command, men, or that I will ever be taken seriously. It was swept under the rug. This was over 30 years ago in 1991. It affected me more than I ever knew and I’m only seeking therapy for it now.
@@VAClaimsInsider Thank you. I genuinely appreciate it. No one has ever just said that. I usually get, “why didn’t you do more?” Sometimes, just being heard is enough. ❤️
Thank you for putting all these informative videos together! Army 79-89 Question: I filed a claim for depression stemming from MST. The DBQ I received is for PTSD. Are they the same? Thanks again!

I am a veteran who on April 19, 2023 was sexually assaulted at the VA Hospital by a VA employee and it was an intentional assault which is being covered up. I protested and the individuals involved retaliated against me. This assault was initiated when my new racist doctor said to me “you are my first patient that’s not on medication”. I am a war vet who deployed during OIF/OEF that uses a medicinal holistic approach to my symptoms. I have taken the pharmaceuticals prescribed to me and I rather live than be a zombie. So I opted into psychedelics and I use medical cannabis to manage my anxiety, ptsd, depression and pain as I had surgery while in the military. I filed a police report through the VA police department, informed Patient Advocacy and filed a complaint with the Veterans OIG-Washington DC and nothing has been done. I am seeking to get my story out and justice for what the government has and is doing to me.
We are sorry to hear this happened to you, and hope justice will be made. We recommend contacting lawyers who can aid you as this falls out of our area of expertise. 🙏
I don’t know if you heard of this benefit or made a video on it. but is called the military family scholarship program act. Talks about private school for veterans but confused if everybody can get it or only a certain amount. I think a lot of people could benefit from it because it’s not talked about a lot. Thanks love your videos your awesome:)
I have the VA appointment 12/21-by video. I reported the event and went through a lot of retribution including an IG report. This happened in 1996. All should be in my records but I’m still not hopeful to get compensated. I started to file the claim about 10 years ago but couldn’t complete the forms, it was so personal and you have to relive that trauma. Any assistance from someone to help coach or having someone on my side during this process would be very helpful.

Thank you for what you are doing and sharing your stories. I was assaulted by two airmen at the same time. I reported to base police and they were eventually courts-martialed and spent time in the brig. I was harassed by multiple members and had to be shipped out overnight. Will the courts-martial documents and a laymen statement from the reporting officer be sufficient? At what point in the evidence gathering would I get a call to be evaluated by a Dr?

@@VAClaimsInsider I’m surprised at the canned response. It is generic and doesn’t answer my questions. Your response left me upset feeling as if my questions weren’t important enough for either of you to help. Thanks.
Let me be clear: I think that these women deserve not only compensation, but JUSTICE against the actual perps. That being said, I thought then, when the enabling legislation was passed, that putting women in the military, except for a very few highly specialized positions, was and is, the very pinnacle of foolishness. As long ago as 2500 years ago, the military historian Thucydides declared, "The laws of Nature are stronger than the laws of man." The military can publish all of the regulations they want, but they are useless in the face of youth and testosterone. Moreover, pregnancy is a woman's means to fulfill the incentive to avoid combat service. Battles involving hand to hand combat will be lost by us, and maybe whole wars, too, and the women that do develop a taste for killing the enemy will transform them away from their most beautiful gift, the givers of life, into the destroyer of lives, and may be unsafe to release into civil society. There is little or no research into the specific nature of PTSD of the female type, and likely will be none, because our leaders are unwilling to find out what the public won't like. As for the rape and abuse, it was and is very predictable. And consider that male soldiers are constantly asked and tasked with the additional burden of carrying all or part of a woman's pack. Navy ships at sea are invariably nicknamed " "the Love Boat," it corrupts and disrupts the chain of command, and fitness and other requirements are "gender normed." Potential and actual enemies of course, are under no obligation to respect our ideology driven standards, and every mother and father of a daughter in combat duty would or should cringe at the continuious and unending rape that their daughters WILL face as prisoners of war. My hope and prayer is that hopefully sooner rather than later, our political leaders will let common sense overcome gender ideology, and that now, and in the future, we will realize the wisdom of Thucydides, that "laws of nature are stonger than the laws of man."
I recently filed a claim for PTSD through the DAV after 34 years but they didn't mention that it was due to MST although my VA mental health records do. Will that make a difference to my claim?
