Well I do want you to know you're not alone, I'm in therapy too. I was in the 101st for OIF 1. And yeah this shit is distressing. For me it's the people blithely excusing war crimes we bent over backwards to keep from committing.

Fuck me. See? This is why I stay my ass out of the VFW. The last thing I need is a shared experience. 😂 We wear the same patch on our right shoulder battle.

And you're spot on. I think it was a hard thing to rationalize that we went there to help. I mean, "we" thought we were helping. I still don't know. Either way, you deserve self-empathy friend. Also ketamine. It helped me a lot! 😄

Good on you for making it through the last two decades too! I would gander that we have all gone through some degree of self destruction, and I know some more than others. Keep your chin up and your head down. Don't drink and drive and if you swim take a buddy.

At least in the VFW I can use my worst coping mechanism. But yeah, the one consolation I think our generation gets is that we really did remove a murderous sociopath from running the place. Everything else is murky but that's a shiny bit. You keep your head up too.
