>American Veteran embellishes or exaggerates what actually happened.
No shit. Everyone does it. Every veteran at one point or another has either lied, embellished, exaggerated, or let people believe (by not correcting someone) they did more than they actually did.
>tfw I did missions and guard every day for a year in Iraq
>only thing that happened was my SGT, a good friend of mine, was torn to bits by an IED, and I had the fantastic duty of pulling what was left out of the truck.
>that one event fucked me up bad
>literally nothing else happened the entire deployment
>my family believes I was in heavy combat because I never correct them
>I'm ashamed at how so little action has affected me so much that I let them think I was in a lot more action.
>I'm a drunk, and failed at most everything I've attempted since I've gotten out
>my Iraq tour is the only thing I have to fall back on for seeming like such a POS.
>I have to drink my self to sleep most nights.
>I have no friends
>my family thinks I'm utterly insane and are afraid to talk to me for any length of time because I fly off the handle, but then feel terrible afterwards.
>suicide is a daily thought
>all this and not even a Combat Action Badge
Why even live?
Feels bad man.

thank you for your service.

Hey, man. Legit PTSD comes out of nowhere. It's nothing to be ashamed of, you're literally injured.
You should consider seeking a bit of help. The way you're rollin' isn't a good way to be. I wish I could help more, but reassuring you that your response is normal (as in within realm of expectation) and that help is out there is all I can do.
Hope you feel better man. Last thing any of us need is another fallen brother.

whatching someone be vaporized is pretty traumatic.

That's a unique survivor syndrome, but you faced through that. No one can say that you didn't do shit.
I've been working 5 years for a 911 service on an ambulance. Trust me you're not alone bro.
