6:41 pm
6:42 pm

6:43 pm
6:44 pm
a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you know. i'm charged welcome to the big picture. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images cold world
6:45 pm
has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are today. i won't go more than three minutes without saying about our rights. it's always. here the roadside bombs i've had twelve of them. arsenal in my vehicle twelve times . when an id goes off you react in ways you think are right at the moment. and when it went to hit our vehicle.
6:46 pm
activists for i heard my gunner start firing which to me means he had a target my gunner was very good he wouldn't make that mistake. and i jumped out of the vehicle and i shot a shot three people before any of them realized what was going on and they started running from us and i shot i think two more before. before my driver grabbed me and he said what he doing. and. that's not me out of it now realize that i was shooting at people because they were there. this one is my grandfather in vietnam he was a pilot bosnia was six months. my first
6:47 pm
trip to iraq was only six months so that's a year my second trip to iraq was a year the trip to afghanistan was a year my last trip was fifteen months this was a stream. is to. me i'm oldest boy whose mom. and. mom are somebody. i'm very proud that i have been in the military i'm proud that i've been to war but however good people do get hurt and i've hurt good people. and. there's a reason i'm getting out of the army or part up that's the reason. i have a. chronic p.t.s.d. post-traumatic stress disorder. to be honest with you i just got out of a mental institution took weeks ago. i was there
6:48 pm
for thirty days. to help me with my p.t.s.d. . and it's from the stuff i've gone through the stuff i've done and i are. how serious is the beef we go to live in the institution the producers. all the people in that place with me they were all military. everybody else there except me had tried to kill themselves i was getting ready to go kill other people when you get ready. to get in my car and drive up and start killing people. instead i grabbed my wife and we drove up to the hospital. you know how do you know are you getting ready to kill people. because the thoughts just kept going through
6:49 pm
my mind and i was making my plan. at the time it was i had a problem with people being happy because i. am not happy most of the time. so are we going to drive down the road here and find the first person i saw that looked happy in us as. far as going to start with i'm. going to shoot him but i doubt that i probably would have just beaten to death.
6:50 pm
or. yes. i don't go places. where you really turn a stick to those house or our family that's a. cave that i'm familiar building. the church is one place i don't feel i have any symptoms. lately from both the church. down the us to have my gun on me yeah i do the. church. because a radical person where they're likely to strike. while the most
6:51 pm
vulnerable target which would be the church because who would have an entire profession in charge nobody but me. the worst one for me was cleaning up other people's brains. and i can deal with shattered human remains like pick up someone's heart. the brains are different because it's. you don't know if you're hauling in pieces someone's memory from their kid or. you don't know if you're holding a piece their members being married remember that you're holding a piece that. and that that was them being soldiers don't know and
6:52 pm
that's that's the worst for me because all i want to own you boil it down all this arrest of this is nothing but meat and bone and. but people don't want to have conversations about that they want to buy you a beer and give you a clapper and shake in the airport and be on their merry way you know. it puts a strain on my marriage for sure. a lot of marriages have been run because the watch just don't understand and don't have the capability of understanding and you know their husband gets home and they think well the husband going to help me discipline the kids and take care of kids but he end up with three kids and a grown ass man we've been in the corner drunk off as cradling a gun. no one teaches anybody how to deal with it you know and it also gets back to the in the military it's the john wayne mentality of if you don't
6:53 pm
show emotion you know allowed to admit that you're sad or upset or anything ever it's not manly. i don't let myself to become upset because when i do i don't get a little upset i get stage five def-con want to upset like at the world and i just don't trust people at all. i get really. starts telling people to . do it when i do that no. and i tend to yeah. the temptation is there.
