Well! Like they say, so much doesn’t change that stays the same. Returning vets without a job! Duuh! Hey returning vets without a job, you haven’t even seen the worst yet! Get ready for it, it will be coming real soon. Carl Sandburg asked the question after the Civil War(War Between the State), “When will people stop going to wars other people create?” Clearly not yet! For the Dear Old Red, White, and Blue, eh! Please! Been there! Did that! Though I didn’t volunteer to kill people I don’t know. Drafted and shafted! Does anyone know that if these United States utilized it’s greatest resource, people, most people wouldn’t have to work more than three days a week for three squares, a place to live, a family, and simply enjoying life and having some fun? This is a fact! And hey, the truth of 9/11 still hasn’t come out! We pay the secrets boys what? 40 billion a year, and they dropped the 9/11 ball? Seems to me something stinks here! And now the party who gave us 9/11 want back in the White House? Please tell me the American people aren’t this dumb! So, where are we now? Trillions in debt! One hundred million plus still are loosing their places to live, along with the monies they already paid for their homes. Isn’t this nice! So much for the golden years! The banks were bailed out, and now won’t rewrite the mortgages. why is this? Because the loans were guaranteed by Frannie Mae and Mac. All the banks have to do is to submit their bill and get bailed out again! Who allows this shit? We do! The American people. Send your children to be maimed or killed in the latest war. Sit by and loose your home and jobs. And pay through the nose for health care and gasoline. Something is wrong here! And we are facing a yet another business as usual year of elections! Me! I’m not voting for one of the sobs. Yes, I’m voting. Voting for things that I can have some influence on. The rest will get elected no matter what I do. Can you say term limits through a Constitutional amendment approved by the states? Jsav. PS. for anyone and everyone. You get what you sow! Fact!

Uhh, this guy is a fake.  The station which originally
ran the story has pulled from their site and put up a
retraction.

Dont’ ever say anything about being “a mess” in the presence of a VA representative.  Find a good service officer, one with a reputation for helping (there are lots who really don’t know the ropes) and have that person help you with your communications with them.  Many of the holdovers from the last administration are really into punishing people like us, who they think “can’t take it”.  Almost all of them have no idea what “it” is like we do.  Protect yourself or they’ll label you a bad apple and you’ll never get any help.

On that note—go to your veterans center—not the psych department of the VA Hospital, they won’t do you any good—and get a good experienced counselor to help with your memories and the high alertness that you demonstrate.  It’s important for you to come down a little so you can get your life back to what will be your new “normal”.  It’ll never be the same—but you can get better.  Good luck.
