I'm seeing him a bit differently than the rest of you guys and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but here's what I saw in the video. I saw a guy, who blames everyone else for everything and carries it around with him, along with his PTSD. He says he served 12 years. I heard, I served for 12 years and only made it to E-5, I got wounded, got out and instead of America throwing a party to honor me and my return, there was not much of anything done for me. Then a lady tresspasser, lied to a judge and I got screwed, so in retaliation I'm burning my uniform. This guy in my opinion, is whining his ass off, because he hasn't recieved, what he feels he deserves from life so far. Hell, when we got home, our peers spit at us at the airport and called us baby killers. Then during the discharge process, we were told not to tell anyone that we were veterans and not to say we were veterens on job applications. That's what America thought of us. We adapted, improvised and overcame obsticals in our way. As for his PTSD. Most anyone who's been in combat, for prolonged periods of time, is going to have, at least a touch of PTSD. It's no ones fault. There's no one at blame. It just comes with the territory. Now he's had his 15 minutes of fame, in his self produced video. I hope that his video, makes him feel better and I hope that he gets some help and finds peace in his life.
