6:35 pm
the things i have seen a lot of. and from all the combat i've seen soldiers that i've lost over time it gets easier that's the thing that frighten me the most. if i killed the enemy. i don't feel it anymore. it's harder but i am happy that i had to be an army wife because not a lot of people get to do it it's definitely a privilege and an honor being married to someone he serves the country so. it's not an easy lifestyle. and i had family members who were in the military so i knew he was going to be gone i knew i was going to be home alone
6:36 pm
a lot you know if i wasn't from a dog. but here i was. no i just turned nineteen in the picture and i was here just graduated college. went off to get married. this was the day he came home i did these on my phone so they're kind of blurry but this was when he came home it was just he kind of just wanted to sit for a minute and just like i think soak in the fact that he's not there anymore he's back in the mainland he's able to just breathe and not worry about any day exploding behind him. you know every. year on here.
6:37 pm
this is a wreath that i made when my husband came home from deployment the material that you see here is what they call a c u from their uniforms. he wore these were actually his pants and he wore them in iraq so when he came home i just thought it was kind of symbolic just to make this wreaths you know to show he made it home so next time he comes home from another deployment i want to make another one. first time when he came back it was it was scary. there was a lot of rage there's a lot of anger a lot of hurt and. he drank a lot. has been used to be one of those people a suicidal thoughts you know. he talks
6:38 pm
a lot when he's drunk and he'll talk about the worst kind of ramble on and i lot of ramble. it was and. a. you know. and. yes. it is to try and do whatever. he leaves again this summer and that will be a second deployment and he's gone for anywhere from twelve to fifteen months at a time. did you ever think if i can was in regard to mr pena.
6:39 pm
you need if you have before you leave. we know for sure he's going to iraq. that can change it any minute you can go to afghanistan and kind of hoping he stays in iraq it's safer somewhat seaver. and. you're close. you're one of us. hear your breath. you. and i are in for breakfast i was about and i usually make him breakfast in the morning but he got home kind of late today so he's probably going to go to the fact which is the cafeteria. is
6:40 pm

6:41 pm
little boys. girls. cohesion. some with direction normal teenage thing. i see people trying to find their way and a very wicked world. it's like leading the lambs to slaughter you know they don't know. do i admire them and respect them and have great
6:42 pm
pride in knowing them and intention yes now i want to cry sorry. because. they have extremely good intentions in defending freedom. on our respect generations that america was founded on but i think that maybe they're slightly this. so how it's hard for me it's hard as a mother you know because i think my kids. if. i.
6:43 pm
twenty two years old. and i must kill thirty people. just the same thing that you were given badges for over in iraq you know you would have you considered a serial killer over here and that's you know that's a very weird thought to have running around in your head. in the morning you know it's very easy to sort of think bright happy thoughts and sort of put a correct kind of. spin on it but when it's dark. going to sleep or late at night or tired it's not as easy.
6:44 pm
so it's technology innovation all the latest developments around russia we've got the future. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. on. morning news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. the
6:45 pm
giant corporations are all today. yes that was a new alert animation scripts scare me a little bit and. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family. hears of. that. found alive there's a story. playing out in real life. i
6:46 pm
won't go thirty minutes without saying about our. dollars. here the roadside bombs i've had twelve of them. arsenal in my vehicle all times. the night he goes off you react in ways you think are right at the moment. and when it when it hit our vehicle. are triggers 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
6:47 pm
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. frank two more before. before my driver grabbed me and he said would be doing. and. that's not me out of it now realize that i was just shooting at people because they were there. this one as my grandfather in vietnam he was a pilot bosnia was six months. my first trip to iraq was only six months so that's a year my second trip to iraq was a year trip to afghanistan was a year my last trip was fifteen months this was
6:48 pm
a stream and from that from this to. me i'm oldest boy who is a man. and. a mom or 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 a couple weeks ago. i was there for thirty days. to help me with my p.t.s.d. and it's from the stuff i've gone through for the stuff i've done and iraq. how
6:49 pm
serious is the beef we go to live in the institution 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. miles about to get in my car and drive up and start telling 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 my mind and i was making my plan. at the time it was i had
6:50 pm
a problem with people being happy because i. am not happy most of the time. so i was going to drive down the road here and find the first person i saw that looked at me in this. i was going to start with them. oh she was going to shoot them but i doubt that i probably would have just beat them to death. yes.
6:51 pm
i don't go places. where you return or 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. from both the church. down to us to have my gun on me yeah i do the. church. because i'm a radical person where they're likely to strike while the most vulnerable target which would be a church because i would have an entire profession in charge nobody but me.
6:52 pm
the worst one for me was cleaning up other people's brains. where 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 holding a piece of someone's memory from their kid or. you don't know if you're holding a piece of their members being married remember that you're holding the peace that . that that was them being soldiers and that's that's the worst for me. because all i want to you boil it down all this arrest of this is nothing but meat and bone and. but people don't want to have conversations
6:53 pm
about that they want to buy you a beer and give you a clap or a handshake 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 around 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's going to help me discipline the kids and take care of kids but he end up with teary 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 show emotion you know allowed to admit that you're sad or sad or anything ever it's not manly.
6:54 pm
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 i want to upset like at the world and i just don't trust people at all. i get really. people. do i would i do that. yeah. the temptations there are half.
