The Military injustice.. Inspired by fellow veterans.

The Military Injustice - Inspired by fellow Veterans..
 The Military has been a very good experience for a lot of us veterans. It provided a steady financial future , fellowship among men and women, life long friends. A chance of lifetime to see exotic lands and see exotic people , eat wonderful foods and to live among all types of people..
 But , we also have faced or dealt with many years of stress, pressure and anxiety about standing watch , ling watches in dangerous lands,. To be on alert,, at all times because of the nature of the job.. We don't have a set schedule,, Every day is a exercise in unpredictability.. A lot of the times we are fighting one another , but in the end We make up and go on,.. We have too. But the stress is always there and the fears of coming home alive is a constant thought.. Sure we have taken the oath to kill the enemy of the US and protect Government assets.. But we all are human , we want to go home and be with family, we want to see our kids grow up and have kids. we want to be happy with our wife sharing tender moments and of course sharing time with Friends , that has had to deal with long deployments and separation.. I know any separation does something to your Psyche and bonds with family and friends.. A lot of family and friends cant or don't want to deal with such separation's , and with that I'm sorry that a lot of my family and Friends cant or don't want to deal with someone they lost touch with in the past 20 years or more.. I mean.. I don't blame them.. I have dealt and seen horrible things and I wish I never did.. THE ugly scene of death is awful and to lose a shipmate no matter what the circumstances is painful.. But we are all taught to be almost robot like,. unemotional machines that  have to dust them selves off and go on.. ? But really? Its not that easy and the military doesn't provide the assistance or the time for healing.. They wonder why? there is so much drinking and fighting , abuse,, hazing , etc because of these issues.  We are only humans but too many of the old school military including myself , we were brainwashed into thinking we are bad asses, we seek destroy and overcome. Sure it works,, but what happens when you retire and you have trouble sleeping , like I do, have trouble concentrating , like I do.. what then.. Sure they are many services, but a lot of Vets are not getting the word.. Or in most cases based on they way they were raised in the military.. To admit weakness or pain from military duties , is.. less than manly.. But.. the more these men like Manifesto of Murder suspect.. These types of outburst will continue//./. Its a injustice that needs to be addressed. I mean , to wait a full 9 months to get disability assistance is ridiculous , for men who have served and protected this great nation. We have suffered for many years , of long and lonely separations and deployments.. and whatever judgements ,, you civilians may have on the military men and women.. We did and done we do on deployments to cope and survive,, You may think we are weak,, But imagine, every 18 months you are getting ready to do long separations with your loved ones. Just imagine,, bad food. good food. hot spaces, cold spaces.. ignorant misguided people and you have to sleep near them.. You have dirt bags.. and loser's, and they are in charge of you,, YOU HAVE RACIST AND HATERS and they are leading you.. You argue or explain their issues and you get demoted, or black balled. You get labeled a whistle blower, a trouble maker ,, a rebel.. But in the eyes of your peers you are respected and feared,, But they don't follow suit because its a lonely and scary road to speak your mind and have passion about how things are supposed to be done in the Military.. But Their greatest injustice is that .. The civilian world.. doesn't recognize or care feel for the abused and stresses Veteran.. They think we are crazy , hell raising baby killers.. Well , War or conflicts are not pretty , and collateral damage will always happen no matter what. But the perception and image of Veteran's are not good. The latest incident with my fellow veteran isn't helping matters and I do hope he stands down from hi mission so to speak. He has created a chaotic feel for everyone involved and the USA.. I understand his pain and I feel for him. and his injustices throughout his life and career. I have been exposed myself.. But we have other ways to deal with that and I want to make that transition from Military to Civilian a smooth one. and Perhaps be a Veteran assistance representative so I can assist Vets like myself who are struggling to make that transition.. IN the military we knew who were the enemies and we had clear objectives.. In the Civilian world.. Its is truly a jungle , where its cut throat.. You don't know who to trust and who to believe in. Its a tough road, and a lot of us are fighting that transition every day. BUT . we must go on and educate and comfort our fellow vets about the services that are being provided. The injustice that has been applied to us, is appalling and unsatisfactory. But with time and continued pressure to the federal government , we will overcome and be productive citizens.. We Veterans have been unjustified labeled and persecuted , but through time , action and being strong we will change the mind set and be the productive member to society that we proudly showcased during our Military service and pride in protecting the USA..
