This just the tip of the berg yall Wanna get to know a veteran there’s so much we been thru, sure war is hell but it starts way before then there’s a loop of stupidity violence bullying and torture you’ll see someone get beat over and over mentally and physically but there is no enemy we do it to each other When did you last mop the rain out the parking lot, or put sunscreen on all the rocks, move that pile dirt right here to right in another spot 20 feet away cause the ground was feelin lonely, take a class to not kill or rape cause the subjects kinda murky, wake up at 5 am coffee run and cry the later on there’s a long line after the bar and 100 percent DWI check Were the jester at the funeral make fun of your age gender and race get severe anxiety when we’re on time because that’s late. Got an event at noon gotta be there at 8, life in the military hurry up and wait You really wanna know what happened down range no solid shit for a year 150 degrees in the port o John makes it hard to jerk it but it’s the only privacy you got. And it’s tough over there no porn drugs or sex, go to the gym and flex to your bunk and rest but you can’t cause the ripits pounding in your chest. Tonight there’s a mission incognito sneak in sneak out ghost in the shadow but you’re late rolling out cause someone’s an asshole and didn’t have their reflective belt…Hadji knows right where you are he’s gotta die wait that guy was a terrorist right? Coughing up sand 20 years tinitus ringing in your ears friends lost that you’ve had for years wake up from dreams into the nightmare let out a sigh not dead yet just a TBI Now flip the switch turn it off play with your kids no more 24/7 shots of adrenaline, go home and pretend like you’re ok with it. If you married a stripper she’s gone with your money if you had a family here’s your to do list honey, single fellas dicks are getting rubbed raw running thru the condom box, and regardless you miss the sand and the chaos…talk to a shrink bout dreams fears and loss the back to training redeployment is not far off. You survived Iraq back home and Afghanistan, bombs RPGs an guns only to find out you cancer from water bottles laying out in the sun. Now there’s the ptsd friends for life you rarely see a best friend you trust with your life but who you wouldnt introduce to your wife. Insult people to their face good things when they go away, veterans all know we show love this way, this is where the HR lady at my civvy job says what the fuck is wrong with yall, well maam fucks a noun adjective and term of endearment, and its every other fucking word so get your ears used to hear it. I share this story not to scare or impress but to share with you ingredients of veterans. Some might complain and call us crass, they can shut their cunt faced cockholster mouth before I shove this cactus right up their ass. With all due respect. Per my last email. Goody Life…real talk…how are we not dead or in jail? Blood makes the grass grow TGB!
