Really? The military has been nothing but a curse to my family. One dead at Iwo Jima. Another insane for the rest of his life. My father had his life messed up because of his service. My Great Uncle who was a Captain Chaplain Catholic Priest in WWII and got the Silver Star was a near zombie by the end of his life as he couldn't deal with what he had seen. Yeah- conscription is great! Try and get me or my sons for your army and wars.
The military which has been such a curse to your family is the only reason you are free to criticize the military.
I hate to break it to you, but the military doesn't drive people insane and doesn't "mess up" people's lives. People mess up their own lives. People allow themselves to become "insane," as you put it, by not taking care of their psychological health. It's not the military's fault that people "can't deal with what they've seen."
Perhaps you should move to Somalia or another country that is essentially anarchist and see how well you fare when there is no one to protect you.
You go girl, we're all proud of your husband! Airborne rocks.
Semper Fi ...
All the men languishing in military hospitals right now with mental disorders are just slackers to you is that it? Patton slapped that soldier who was battle fatigued and he was right? Their fault huh? Try taking care of a great uncle for 40 years who saw real war. Then tell me about how "strong" you are. You are a disgusting person.
