8:33 pm
the. last i heard of it. we got about fifteen or twenty now my phone calls. all within just a minute or two of each other or there's a gunfight and there's a huge gun battle taking place in the courtyard between all the buildings where there's kids and there's people and of course you know lots and lots of folks lived there and it was still in the middle of a. like almost lunchtime. when we found him. he was obviously taking a lot of medication and he had been had a little bit of alcohol. this guy had come back.
8:34 pm

8:35 pm
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 from four or five 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 know everything you know he's out. about. four o'clock. in the afternoon i came
8:36 pm
home there's like i his truck was in the driveway parked getting crazy and everything we went out last night or something and i come in and unlocked the door and you know usually just locked the bottom on. the top it was like to. walk in through the door. it happened right here. and i walk in. you know what i see is is feet. you know laying in plain 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 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
8:37 pm
floor and just you know out the side of his head and everything in just blood bled 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 that. 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 just real out going. dirty you know and then i got some of the place kind of all around yeah yeah not
8:38 pm
really after first 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 my kids also driving a truck was kind of hunkered down and pushed us but so i never actually shot in war . a lot of us don't but we like to. be exposed as soon as we get basic training. they use all kinds of different things to shoot and a lot of fun this is fun shooting a war is not for your son you have to do to stay alive you know to win the war when the battle here is just one. person so this is your last unit argosies or paper so it's it's different but they're shaped as personal. as well. so it's not you know i thought all the targets are safe they would think. the soldiers treat. him or the team sure the people. being.
8:39 pm
always first mission first will move which their feet move with fallen comrades and just one physically and mentally tough tranquil fishing warrior testing rules. always maintain more equipment myself. a standard age deploying gauge and destroy the enemies united states of america in close call but only guarding our freedom and american way of life i am an american soldier. you need to know that my heart my heart and freedom it's called the n b a gram and mrs this way . and also that way. for dishonor. the shotgun and two zero three because i would rather die disarm i really. really really like you really. whether you like better country so much that it's the best country in the world it got to be got it. well.
8:40 pm
by actually quite having our own way. 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. nineteen thousand for be suicides 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 happened on an off post. the soldier killed himself and. temple one of the neighboring towns in a public restaurant. knew this guy was in a park and around drug town near austin next to
8:41 pm
a school i mean obviously they all have issues that they couldn't get help for they didn't seek help for. it so this is the story about the soldier who was found dead 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 a place like that on post but this is the first time that it was. a public and very recognizable place smells very symbolic obviously so. for campbell kentucky. this has been a lot of you know want to see. you. all to force here. all of the. strongest anywhere.
8:42 pm
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 played from here. and we have soldiers here that have gone five six seven eight times it's crazy. home of the free because of the brave sometimes our society forgets that. distorted thing i can. find
8:43 pm
a cause worth fighting. to feel on and that. the . threat of no one would hear for the price i thought of something and the lives. before one zero zero four forty felt when. i think about. the other the path on the globe and land on the floor is moving a little bit for me. because if it. didn't last. long on the move in mobile alabama. ok been a very long korat. be a. very light everywhere yes ma'am the last one. on the go go home and not fall on we are ramping it up now we're gonna
8:44 pm
know that you've got a belt and a hand and a gun but none of your money i'm remind the ground bugs on one side of the line on the one where. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard. the big picture. played. in the air. was a new alert animation scripts scare me a little you there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow
8:45 pm
the breaking news leaking. alexander's family cry tears of joy and in great things rather that you have read dark and a quart of water thrown on the outside there's a story made for a movie is playing out in real life. yeah. you go. to. the hospital and they were thing and started to come back home. for some reason i just had to go. and when i walked in the restaurant there was
8:46 pm
a young girl there. and i just asked the girl i said i need to know did they get 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 aid the child did but he didn't. and she started crying. i'm so sorry i hope you and the family in god can forgive me. and. and he has sent that to me at five forty three on the sixth and they said it ten minutes after six when he said he wanted to follow family traditions. and
8:47 pm
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. of 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 workless army actually told them that they would tell my son that when he told him he had problems they told him that he was worthless and would never amount to
8:48 pm
anything and they 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 patriotic is 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. so. if i could have stayed in the army i would have. as i did enjoy being an infantryman. rifle for my country like generations of my
8:49 pm
friends has done. for hundreds of years i enjoyed it. there are good parts of it that is the army species you how to become a casualty how to be killed 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 wear how soon 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 i'm 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 tiller around or anything it was entirely homemade. 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 as to which way you mean i'm to things i saw on. on. because that's what it's not so much the nature of the attack and the aftermath it's the reasoning behind making us vulnerable so that we were attacked in the first place that's what bothers me so much it's just so stupid.
8:51 pm
our brigade commander was concerned that we would scratch the iraqis furniture i'm not kidding they went on public record saying that right that was one of his major concerns because they complained to him that us where all our gear and 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 what does it mean to take your body armor off what do you are left with. this way
8:52 pm
and i don't know how much you need your confidence and maybe she put extra starch in your four spot it we're talking about scratch furniture and poor little iraqis her 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. 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 feel things emotionally but it doesn't get out of control so it's just enough to
8:53 pm
help me get through. so i got nothing good to say about their army. were product they literally use that word in official documents product not a cheeseburger not a tax cigarettes. just for the money. tax free kimonos like thirty five thousand. just not that much but. if it was worth it if you come home alive and with lames. we have seen the beginning of the iraqi war. we've seen many go. and we've seen less come. they are all excited about going and they get these wartime tattoos and they are
8:54 pm
ready. and then they'll come back a year later and there's such an emptiness and such a. force they convince in their eyes. sometimes they talk and sometimes they want. we don't progress 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 boat. that's my favorite code and says you know in a war there are no one hundred soldiers. everybody's affected. and
8:55 pm
they're just in different degrees. and i work with soldiers so i know i am helpless as i understand the way. 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 collina 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 someone 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 issues down 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 had 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. you know what if they didn't.
