Fuck your military and man up speeches

This timeline is really stellar

"At an intake exam June 13, a therapist said Sasse was anxious and angry, "rubbing the back of his neck throughout the interview and eye contact was minimal."

On June 19, another psychologist noted the soldier had "anxiety with persistent worry, with difficulty breathing at times due to panic."

On June 20, Sasse started daily treatment, which included group therapy and classes that taught "relaxation through meditative practice," records show. But, he said, the meditation triggered flashbacks that made him feel worse.

On June 21, he told his psychologist the therapy was "a waste of time." Records show the Army then doubled his dose of the contraindicated drugs."

its funny to me the sympathy that someone in pro sports gets for the same injury but theres a total and complete lack of empathy or understanding for a soldier that experiences the same

CDC - Sports - Concussion - Traumatic Brain Injury - Injury Center

You can thank all of the fucks that are trying to cash in on Uncle Sug with B.S. PTSD claims

a guy that got his skull caved in, lost an eye and an arm....took him 4 years to get disability and he's never officially been rated for the tbi...i mean..his effin skull was crushed in.

Money making machine is what it is, for all the pharm companies and varoius programs. Been involved in and saw some serious shit myself, never asked for nothing, but BAS want to push up on u that something is wrong and that u need help. The legtitmate injuries are one thing but the shitbags that jump on board and want a free handout as long as they say this and do this for the DR., help to make all this BS possible. Half of them do this just to get out of their enlistment.

Strongbow dead on there.

my battle buddy in basic was someone that enlisted higher than fuck on heroine..I still have no fricken idea how she got through MEPS. She detoxed in basic which could have easily killed her. The drill sergeants hated her so much they made sure she had boots two sizes too small. Part of her heel was amputated from the necrotic tissue. Know what? She made it through basic and was a tough little bitch. She stayed clean and made it to her duty station, where they kicked her out for having been a former drug addict.
The military doesn't make any kind of fucking sense.

You can't die from opiate withdrawal there, buddy.

Agree with the above.

directly no, but the constant vomiting while in basic, forced through physical exertion that went untreated in a SC summer...I'm betting yes.

It still wouldn't have been opiate withdrawal.
