My brother who served just had a PTSD flashback.
He was washing pots and pans, spent a solid 5 minutes washing the same saucepan, scalding his fingers, then just freaked out and started hyperventilating.
Apparently while he was serving in Kuwait an MLRS malfunctioned, exploded, and killed a bunch of people, while helping triage he burned his hand partially.
Anyone have any similar expeiriences with family or friends?

If you can trigger someone's ptsd could you suck their dick without them knowing?
When my uncle got back from Iraq, he was driving and i was in the passenger seat, and a reflection bounced off the side view mirror. He thought it was an IED going off, and he slouched down in his seat and floored it. Single-handedly the scariest moment of my life, and im sure his again too.

Whenever I had to wake my best buddy up for watch I had to stand off and throw rocks at him because he would come up swinging every time. I get bad nightmares every now and then and when I hear stone hitting stone I think about my time in Yemen watching the government stone a Houthi woman in front of the embassy while we stood by and did nothing

I'm a community college student (harrharr) and I was getting a ride home with a friend who was a sergeant in the Army.
He had no fear on American roads, he ran two red lights, nearly mounted a curb, and looked straight ahead and told me "this car is great because it's an old piece of shit, I could crash it and probably be fine".
"This ain't shit compared to driving back to Bagram"
He also told me about the mortars, dude seemed jaded like a cricket at Los Alamos.
Friendly reminder people with combat PTSD are cowards and are the types of men who should have never signed up for war in the first place.

nope. Some men are simply not cut out for combat and shouldn't be on the front lines.
War is brutal and if you can deal with it, sign up, and if you can't, stay home.
You know you're there to die for a higher cause, faggot.

believe whatever you want to believe, mi familia
Cowards have no place in the military. You sign up with the expectation of death and should embrace it. If you don't, that's your problem.

You're an idiot. When you get into a relationship, you prepare for things to go good, or bad. But when things go south, does that preparation make you not feel pain from what happened and what you've been through? I rest my case.

Neither of my grandparents have ever talked about the wars (Korea and Vietnam). The only things I know are that my one granddad was worried he'd be going to hell for what he did in Pusan, he was a great guy all his life. The other one flew F105's in Vietnam, apparently one of his wingmen had the same name as me, he called me by his nickname and only recently I learned that that same wingman got blown to pieces by a SAM in Nam.
My dad has loads of remorse for accidentally taking a guy's hearing in one ear in USAF SERE training. Part of the course was that the trainers were supposed to throw firecrackers at the guys doing the simulated POW camp, and one of the firecrackers went off right next to the guy's head.
Eventually war will catch up with you. You can only deny that you took someone else's child or father away for so long, the fact their family would have given anything to tell their son/dad that they love them one more time, and through whatever twist of fate, you took their life.

maybe if they could justify what they are doing instead of being zog pawns, it would be easier to live with. i mean really who are the real cucks, taking orders from a bunch of talmudic jews who see you as cattle is about as cucked as one can get.
