High school bud was there. His living body returned. His mind did not. Alcohol, drugs, jail, found laying naked in the middle of busy roads, wrap him in a blanket and take him home, do it again. One day we wont find him b4 a transfer truck does.
The last few days hes been drunk unconscious and the family is keeping him that way at least a week.
Nobody at the local VA gives a shit, the local hospital doesnt either, family and a few friends do.
Second individual was on overwatch outside and far enough away to survive when the barracks blew. Hes one of the most difficult people I ever met. Hes not drunk, drugged, or so f'd up non functional, but, hes intolerable.
Those two guys helped start my Army Jerry attitude toward unc screwing over the troops.
Makes it impossible to ever trust a politician again.
And this latest uncivility after the appointment makes these Marines' deaths, even more horrible.
I dont have the right words to express what I think when I see those two survivors and what they live right now.
RIP Marines !
