    I have been suffering from PTSD since 1964. It goes away for a while but always comes back. It has cost me jobs, relationships, self-respect, and thousands of nights with no rest.

    Yes the song is right, “ They teach you how to put he uniform on, but not how to take it off”. It’s hard brother, for 33 years I’ve struggled with loosing my buddy on RV87. Stupid intersection and blackout driving on purple route. I soldiered on for another22 years and never knew the damage done until one day in Afghanistan. All you can do is choose your priorities like your fami, and soldier on. It’s all we know brother

    Remember our own Prime Minister paid a Terrorist more than his own Soldier. I dont know the full figure but it was estimated 10 million. Just remember he didnt even take this to the cabinet. he did it on his own. Our own Leader cares more about others than our CAF members. Thank you for your service

    The U.S. Army is the same way. You are left on your own to figure out the VA and any future employment. 21 years and I got a flag wrapped in some ghetto ass cellophane. I just got it out the other day after nearly 12 years. What a joke. The VA has really gotten better but it really makes me sad when I think of all the vets before me that were just left to their own devices. My advice to anyone serving is a year out from your discharge start planning on what you are going to do. That and save as much money as you can. Especially if you have a family.

    Things are not going to get better for our vets until the tax payer makes it an issue, it would not matter who was in power, it is you the taxpayer that is not using your voice to address our vets issues. Justin promised to make things right, and we still have vets in our courts fighting for their rights. "they are asking more than we can give" I wonder what would of happened if our soldiers had said that on the battle field. ONLY the tax payer can fix this.

    He enforced illegal laws even though his training told him that it would give the condition to others. And now he complains and thinks it is bad?
    Why enforce illegal laws giving it to others if you wouldn't want it yourself?
    Suck it up criminals. That is what they say to their victims.
    You guys/gals deserve it. If you don't believe me show up to your crimes against humanity investigation and see for yourself!!!

      @@crispy682 Less than a couple weeks ago two RCMP officers came to my house and stated they and the soldiers were breaking the law to commit crimes against the minority group I am in and there was no legal way to stop them because they are denying me access to prove it in court. For 2 years now. They agreed.
      So why don't you take your own advice since you clearly did not want to talk about my allegations and are just mud slinging.
      Calling somebody names as an unjustified way to distract from the truth you do not want known, or want to accept, does not make that data disappear. Only in your own mind.
      Care to challenge the data, or did you mind just tell you that you do not want to for a reason?
      Any human that does not want to accept a justified truth will have to go through the same basic pattern over and over due to the mind works.

      @@myballs24 How do you know... tell me about my life... hero...???
      Sounds like an unjustified trigger where you have no idea my accomplishments but want to segment me off as a despicable person to ignore the data without attacking it. Correct?
      There is a reason they teach warriors to use their minds before giving them weapons...
      Am I a horrible person for saying it...? Maybe... but soldiers need to understand that systematic abuse from illegal laws and orders causes it too... correct?
      And for the record I will win on people saved from systematic abuse by governments and also support programs for those with this condition. Soliders or not.
      Call me a liar if you want but in over seventeen years as an activist it is what people call me the least. Because they have to prove me wrong. And debate me.
      Would you like a list of accomplishments of systematic rscisms stopped, or social programs that I have gotten for people with this condition first?
      Let's start with whom took time off from activism with one group to run the unofficial public relations campaign for soldiers to get compensation. Or shall we try currently with the government giving people with disabilities subsidies. I bet PTSD is in there. Call it a hunch.
      Do you really want to do this? I know you are already outgunned. Your mind told me with the unjustified trigger you used.
      And yes I am an A-hole for saying it. But they need to be reminded that soldiers don't always protect people.

      Or unjustified trigger to ignore the crimes?
      You do realize why corrupt governments give weapons to those whom don't care about what laws they pass and enforce right?
      I live in a country where the church leaders say they are breaking the law to jail the groups I am in for money. And our soldier are all corrupt and couldn't tell you the difference between a legal tax and illegal tax according to those involved in the crimes with them.
      Lol. Virtue signal all you want by saying you support the Russian army, etc, but the process is getting really old.
      You do know we use the same method to determine illegal and legal laws right?
      We just buy off the United Nations to look the other way according to those involved in the crimes with them.
      A.G.I. will determine the truth in the end. So humanity will always know the truth if I, and they, are wrong. Right?
