8:34 pm
a. like almost lunchtime. when we found him. he was obviously taking a lot of medication and he had you know. this guy had come back from. an assault rifle. and he said that he just he just needed to hear he was he was stressed and in order to relax he just needed to hear the sound of gunfire. first or kicking down doors going to. kick down a door in their own scared i know it's exciting. i mean i don't know problem with it i just kind of just go back to the swing of things but i think. someone says something
8:35 pm
to me. like a ball or something more i may get more fights to. spend it. but i never knew anything about his you know that p.s. t.v. year yes t.v. . so i never knew we had all those those problems or nothing and. some people come back and forth deployments they're just fine you know unless they're. they're hiding they're really good like him that all the sudden just. you
8:36 pm
know everything you know is out. in the afternoon i came home it's like i his truck is in the driveway parked getting crazy and everything else they don't really went out last night or something and they come in and lock the door and. usually just lock the bottom and lock to lock it walking through the door. it happened right here. and i walk in. you know what i see is is feet. you know laying in. the hallway and then i see like little red and brown spots and stuff from my first thought is you know oh he he got drunk last night and he's
8:37 pm
passed out on the floor or he was moving something heavy any tripped and he hurt himself. i come over to arm and then i see my forty five pistol laying on the floor and just you know out the side of his head and everything in just blood blood everywhere blood all over the floor blood all over the couch so i you know just kind of touched him and kicked just. like. you know like i i seen dead before but not dead people by their own hand in my house so. you know he's a good looking guy and he's at there and smile all the time and everything in israel outgoing.
8:38 pm
thirty you know i got some of the plates kind of all around yeah yeah that really yesterday was a lot of us just don't don't have you know the exposure to actual combat like i've been through combat a couple of times but in my case also driving a truck was kind of hunkered down and pushed us but so i never actually shot in war . and a lot of us don't but we like to. be exposed as soon as we get basic training. for us all kinds of different things to shoot and a lot of fun this is fun shooting a war is not a song you have to do to stay alive you know to win the war on the bubble here it's just one. person so this is your life units are going to be a paper so it's it's different but they're shaped as personal. as well.
8:39 pm
so it's not about that at all but the targets are safe there were they thinking. the soldiers treat. in soldier a moral member of the team sure the people. doing well. always post mission first well maybe it's the feet move with leave fallen comrades and just one physically or mentally tough tranquil fishing warrior past the rules. always maintained all my equipment and myself. a standard age deploying gaging destroy the enemies united states of america in close call but only guarding their freedom and american way of life i am american soldier. do you know that my heart my heart their freedom it's called the n b a gram misses this way. and also that way. for the song or. the shotgun and two or three for his i would rather die for
8:40 pm
disarm i really. really really like the really. whether you like better country so much that it's the best country in the world it got to be got it. well. by actually what happened in the world are not always. there are seven confirmed in two thousand and three five in two thousand and four nine in two thousand and five three in two thousand and six six in two thousand and seven fourteen in two thousand and eight and eleven in two thousand and nine to. one thousand confer the suicide at fort hood in two thousand and ten. i guess i should say the number of suicides of soldiers assigned to fort hood because he's
8:41 pm
happened on an off post. the soldier killed himself and. temple one of the neighboring towns in a public restaurant. is new this guy was in a park and around drug town near austin next to a school i mean obviously they all have issues that they couldn't get help for they didn't seek help for. so this is the story about the soldier too was found at the memorial on post. where he did it yes that's the first time that someone has. taken their life or poorly taken their life and place like that on post but this is the first time that it was. a public and very recognizable place very symbolic obviously.
8:42 pm
for campbell kentucky he says has been a lot of unity on. this city. because. you know. all in all to our forces here. all of the. strongest anywhere. because it's a volunteer all. everybody in the army wants to join the army. or at least doesn't have any other options. there is a huge amount of soldiers coming and going here at all. it is the biggest base. it's also a main deployment base. they train here for a couple of months. and then they be placed on here. and we have soldiers here that have gone five six seven eight times it's crazy.
8:43 pm
home of the free because of the. brave sometimes our society forgets that. it's still i think i can. find a cause worth fighting. to feel on and then. perhaps a medal one would hear first thing i thought of something like that and the live album the four who are the outgrowth for flooding the beltway out of our day ok got up. looked over the path on the clover and went on the floor is moving a little bit for me. because if it. was. on one of those all over in mobile alabama i'd. have been pretty long korat.
8:44 pm
me a. very light everywhere yes ma'am. yes and not on the run over and now we're out of contract and got a belt and a hand and a gun with on the floor. i'm remind the ground bought on monday night i. want to go on the real. mission. cretaceous free in-store charges free. range least three. three stooges i freeze. mostly blond hair splitting videos for your media projects and free media oh don carty don tom.
8:45 pm
more news today violence is once again put up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule the day. i left the hospital and they were thing and started to come back home. for some
8:46 pm
reason i just had to go. and when i walked and at the restaurant there was a young girl there. and i just asked the girl i said i need to know did they got a soldier. commits suicide here and she goes well i can't say anything and i just looked at. the mother of the soldier and i wanted to thank you for what a child did but he didn't. and she started crying a levy mom i'm so sorry i hope you and the favorite god can forgive me. that's what he said and that was it. and he has sent that to me at five forty three on the sixth and they said it ten minutes after six is when he said he
8:47 pm
wanted to follow family traditions. and there's military pretty much on all for the whole both sides of the family for the man army and air force and he said he wanted something to challenge him and make him a man. after basic trained was changed a lot i could tell that he really grew up the second tour is when he came back a mess he was having nightmares really bad he said he would see things and he would he would think about it a lot. i that time they didn't really know that this was going on with us because he didn't tell. because he had been talking to some other people that were having problems that they were being looked upon like they were me and worthless army actually told them that they would tell my son that when he told him
8:48 pm
he had problems they told him that he was worthless and would never amount to anything and to get it fixed and straighten up and he had to be. stronger or he would never be anything. i love my country i do. to be true because to love your country more than yourself not many people think of it in terms like that but. if you join the military for any other reason than that you're probably not going to have a good day. if i could have stayed in the army i would have.
8:49 pm
as i did enjoy being an infantryman cared for i feel for my country like generations of my friends has done. hundreds of years i enjoyed it. there are good parts of it but it was the army species you had to become a casualty out of the kill they teach you how to deal with facing death. you know teach you how to deal with being wounded. and once you are wounded in your no further use to the army. they get rid of you they warehouse you know until the you get your medical discharge and go away. when i get stressed out a sheeple i feel better. simple as that when i rez i'm bad day go to the range in iraq and i just dumps around feel better.
8:50 pm
it's still a. piece of shrapnel that the dug out of my spine it's a piece of the bomb the bomb was i'm sorry all over the place a pipe basically a huge pipe bomb made with homemade explosives so it was and it wasn't like a mortar or our tiller around or anything it was homemade entirely. and the iraqi police helped put the bomb in place so. i don't want to get into the details of what happened in the attack of the steam which are you me i'm to things i saw on. own. because that's what it's not so much the nature of the attack and the aftermath it's the reasoning behind making as vulnerable so that we
8:51 pm
were attacked in the first place that's what bothers me so much it's just so stupid . our brigade commander was concerned that we would scratch the iraqis furniture i'm not kidding they went on public record saying that. that was one of his major concerns because they complained to him that us where all our gear having our weapons we've scratched their nice furniture and they did live in pretty nice we saw a lot of brand new b.m.w. is brand new ford brand new mitsubishi was driving around. yes. the army decided to have key leadership and what they meant by that was anybody above the rank of the six like myself would remove their body armor and weapons and leave them in the vehicles and this wasn't optional it was mandatory it was an order and
8:52 pm
what does it mean to take your body armor off what do you are left with. this way and i don't know how much you need your confidence and maybe if you put extra starch in your four spot it we're talking about scratch furniture and pour a little iraqis hurt feelings i don't care. i don't care if it comes to if is a choice between my safety and making iraqis feel comfortable i'm going to choose my safety every goddamn time sorry if that if that's not politically correct or whatever i don't care this is ambien for sleeping. a muscle relaxer flexeril my muscles twitch when they get aggravated which is basically all the time with the what's left of my back twitches and that doesn't feel good so i take this. i have a prescription for a low grade dosage of zoloft and that keeps me from getting to i still unable to
8:53 pm
feel things emotionally but it doesn't get out of control so it's just enough to help me get through day day to. so i got nothing good to say about the army. we're product they literally use that word in official documents product not a cheeseburger not a tax cigarettes. just for the money. tax free come almost like thirty five thousand. just not that much but. if it was worth it if you come alive and with limbs. we have seen the beginning of the iraqi war. we've seen many go. and we've seen less come.
8:54 pm
they are all excited about going and they get these wartime tattoos and they are ready. and then they'll come back a year later and there's such an emptiness such a. forsaken this in their eyes. sometimes they talk and sometimes i was. we don't pride than to talk. well ask you know what is this for who is this war. you want to talk about what happened and sometimes they do. most of the times they don't. there's the. that's my favorite code and it says you know in
8:55 pm
a war there are no one hundred soldiers. everybody is affected. and they're just in different degrees. and i work with soldiers so i now i am this is understand me. it's always been an anti-war coffeehouse. i'm. i am anti-war my politics are pretty to the left. people have called me a traitor and you know protestors are evil especially in a town like alina where the brass has a very strong hand the only chairs around. i decided to make it more like a house because a lot of the soldiers need human contact and so this is somewhere they could come and feel at home. i.
8:56 pm
mean. i joined because i had problems at home my mother had just been admitted to a psychiatric ward and i was sixteen and then. when i turned seventeen i took my mom to the recruiter and she told me she was she was the real luke issue no she was doing but she signed for me and the recruiter was cool and so i went off and my dad was in korea at the time that's why otherwise you know i don't have anybody here my i'm a military brat so my extended relatives are halfway across the united states and the only reason why i'm here is because my dad was in the army and you know and then he went to korea i'm here with my mom my mom goes crazy i have nothing but but the army is an option.
8:57 pm
i knew i was going to go. when i joined there was no like i'm not going to lie to myself i hadn't expected to lose a bit of my mind myself you know it was it was constant like it was so so far moved from reality and it was such a bombardment. for me. my young mind or whatever. i came home and i couldn't get back in sync with anything you know living a normal life and worrying about parking tickets and you know bills and these things and i thought if i go back to iraq i could get away for a year. so i volunteered for my second appointment.
8:58 pm
sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there. because i. i saw some people who had died and i saw people. get blown up and stuff and being so close to it it doesn't make sense that i should be so close to this and it shouldn't be like what was the determining what's what is it about you know what is it why it doesn't make sense but. more often i'm just afraid. just fraid of things i've seen even though i know them probably won't like they're not going to come get me. and just. what if they didn't have.
