I’m a 58 year old veteran. Wasn’t me.

Glad to hear it, 2DV. Sounds like he picked about the WORST way possible to “get help”.

Same here. Sad that anyone would go to this extreme.

He’ll be even more upset with their burn treatment unit, now.
I don’t blame him for being upset with the VA, but self-immolation is probably not going to improve things for other vets, and certainly not for himself.
To: Red Badger
Every time I call the VA hospital, the first part of the recording asks if you are depressed or are having thoughts of suicide. If so, “press one now”.
Some people just make poor choices.

"...He now has burns on 85% to 90% of his body..."
Thank you for your earlier service to our country.
I am sorry your mind convinced you self-immolation was the proper path.
Few people survive burns that are that extensive.

Saying it like that makes it seems like its a logical, sane thing to set oneself on fire when wronged.
Here's a clue...there are some serious mental health issues going on here.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
The fact that he was a veteran is immaterial. Where would he have ever seen combat? PTSD? Not likely.
This is just another mentally ill individual.

Call the Suicide Hotline and they’ll put you on hold.........................

85 - 90% burned ! Prayers done for Him.
They will probably move Him to BAMC in San Antonio when stable enough. As far as I know is still the #1 Burn Treatment Center.

Depends on when he enlisted. There were no wars during my time in and I signed up at 17 and went active at 18. They did call me back for Desert Storm.

At 58 years old, and depending on his time/length of service, he may have seen combat in Panama and/or the First Gulf War.
I’m not saying it was PTSD; I’m only answering your question.
