I was wounded in Vietnam 47 years ago and lost both my legs. I can assure you that the PTSD will fade away as you age. It did for me and back in my time they still weren't sure what PTSD was or how to treat it. I was never treated for it and had some rough times wat back when. Ended up in jail a couple of times for disorderly conduct. I was told I would never be able to have children too. I married one of the nurses that took care of me and we have been together 41 years. Have two children a son and daughter. Our son is a veteran of your war and an ER doctor today and his sister is a high school teacher. Get rid of all the pills and live for your family and in due time ( a long time ) the PTSD will no longer haunt you if you just get involved with you wife and kids. God bless
thanks for the advice. I'm going thru the same thing here. I served 99 -2008. 82nd (ABN) 1st 504 (mech) and it's been a struggle since I got out. two ex's two kids I don't see, family that don't want to talk to me or even ask if I'm good in any way. yeah I think the PTSD will go away but it's a day by day STRUGGLE and the STRUGGLE is REAL. I have to kinda joke with myself every morning saying am I suicidal or homicidal... anyway to all my fellow VETS OUT THERE, STAY SAFE, KEEP YOUR FAITH, DONT LET THEM DRAG YOU DOWN! AIRBORNE!
George Humphrey THANK YOU and all veterans, past and present, who have given so much for the rest of us! Huge respect to your families who have suffered more than the world will ever know! I'm VERY GRATEFUL and VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!!!
Not one of my friends that went to Iraq came back. Either they came back in a box, or their body came back without them in it anymore. The soul that left did not come back with their body. One even took his own life to in order to keep his family safe. He felt he was a mortal threat to his wife and daughter. As a father his most important life mission was to keep his family safe. If anyone / thing were to be a danger to his family he would have to neutralize that threat. Its just so happens that HE felt that HE was the threat, so he took care of it in the fashion he had been trained to. R.I.P. Next time politicians are telling you that we need to 'protect our freedoms' by INVADING another country thousands of miles away, remember they are lying to you so you will make them very very very rich. They refuse to go to war themselves but dont bat an eye sending you and / or your kids to die.
You tell the truth it is all divide and rule for the international zionist Rothschilds BANKERS THEY ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE WAR FOR MONEY we all need to get together and take out this scum .
I suffer from PTSD although it is only a fraction of what this fighter has. As a father of a six month old baby boy, let me tell all of you that holding my child in my arms and watching him look up at me and my beautiful wife with a smile is at least 50% of the therapy for my problem. It gets better Staff Sgt. It eventually gets better.
As an Afghan let me thank you guys for your bravery in liberating our country from terrorists. thanks to u, millions of girls can attend school and many other achievements are over there. There are far more positive points of this war than the negative ones. our own afghan war veterans rarely complain from trauma. They are just proud of what they did, brother. They think about the achievements and killing those rats. Don't ever bother yourselves. That was War and war takes causalities. I wish you are better by now reading my comment and wish you a happy life with ur beautiful baby.
I came from Vietnam in August of 1969 and have been dealing with PTSD ever since. The best decision I made was 23 years ago when I asked the VA for help. Things are a lot better now for me, but PTSD won't ever go away. Great story brother, just keep fighting.
Good story. I was taken out in '04, I lost my marriage, home, career. My PTSD and physical injuries are so extensive I filled for disability in '06 (I tried to work but couldn't). I received disability within 1 month after I filled. So that was n is a blessing. Group therapy and one on one help to cope with the symptoms that go along w/ PTSD along w/ some of the meds. I don't take as many as I used too, and I haven't attempted suicide in over two yrs. so there is improvement, very slow over ten yrs. Now I have goals and dreams for a better life.
Andrew Garrett That's awesome Andrew. I went downhill 2 years after my time in the desert. The results to my life, friends and family were catastrophic. I never imagined I could bounce back, but over time and lots of work its happening. Someone tried to convince me about 6 years ago that good things were in store, but it was impossible to believe it. After years of tiny choices every day (mainly the choice to try again after losing a job or screwing up a relationship) it's slowly coming together. I think having goals and dreams for a better life, like you said, is the first and most important part. Good luck bro. Thanks for posting. It's good to see other dudes are out there.
I volunteer with the Citizens Advice in the UK and I have spoken to a few people with PTSD from various wars. It breaks your heart what these people have to go through, it really does.
God Bless you and your family...your wife for standing by your side may the You find peace one day and enjoy your beautiful children....god bless America
I hope SSG Caviness and his family are doing well. I am a combat vet from the Iraq conflicts...2 tours. I never got PTSD, but I will never forget what I saw and experienced there. My heart goes out to him and to all of our brothers and sisters in and out of Uniform.
My soul just got attached to y'all the US Army men. I just find myself watching clips of families welcoming their loved ones from deployment. I don't know but I feel like showing y'all love cause you truly deserve it.so emotional . Anyway all I can send is God's protection.
Hi Battle, How are things doing. Hope you are doing better, I am still dialing with the memories but I am surviving and will survive. Was great to have you on my team.
PTSD is a mysterious thing. Poem titled, “My place has changed." My place has changed, From the things once seen. To where I do not know. Only I can say ‘I can return.’ Only I can find that way To my source in life, With the time I have left I must overcome. It’s I who must come back.
The ravage of war isn't physical only, it's in the minds of men who fought for their country and families. How can we reveal the madness of war better than by watching this video, this testimony of a man who suffers from trauma that holds him imprisoned? It's heartbreaking to witness this man's condition at the start. I hope he finds a way out of the war that rages inside of him. Fortunately, a new life emerged and now he's a father again. Congratulations! Thank you so much, for showing your dedication and sharing your condition. I think it's important that we don't close our eyes to this devastating result of modern day warfare.
What I hate is how the government uses people in the army. It's been like this since Vietnam. It's sad. It's so rare for health care to help vets. It makes me sick to know that. EVERY vet should receive help.
Ghetto Google and our gov covertly arms the enemy by means of cia operations to keep a war economic growth status sustained. this war is not sustainable, America is dying.
Been longer than Nam. WW1 and 2(European theatre not the pacific) was deeply unpopular with the public. Ever since we enstated the Federal Reserve America has been getting pulled into wars that no one but the elite want that do not benefit anyone but a small number of globalist oligarchs and a small foreign country on the other side of the planet.
Thank you for your service... I was diagnosed for PTSD. I know its a struggle to many veterans. One thing to survive this monster is your family fully support you and you have wonderful kids. Just be strong because you have a strong family just like mine and that's why I'm still alive today...
hi all ! i am 48 years old from CAnada . I suffer from PTSD ,2 traumas , social phobic , and panic attacks . Im retired since 2013 . feel better now ,but its an everyday struggle . PEace guys !
Thank you for your service and your bravery. Best wishes on the new baby and may an angel watch over you and your lovely family. I never walked in a soldier's shoes and I have PTSD living my very sad life. I try to overcome the past. Also, I use to read the Bible and to have a hobby. God bless you, soldier 'n family. Your smile brightens everyone's day.
Hey bro,know this you are not alone in this,ptsd is the biggest war you fight with yourself,for me it's fighting it to stay human for my family and my pets.
I know the pain you are going through brother. Stay busy with hobbies and try to heal. The injurys are constant reminders like salt in a wound !! I feel it brother. Hang in there and be strong, you are a hero. You sacrificed and are loved
im joining the 82 airborne this summer, this just gave me a boost of the reality of war. i have the deepest respect for these brave heroes, this just breaks my heart to see so many good men in a condition like that.
My uncle did time in Iraq as a corpsman. He has seen combat and is a Purple Heart recipient. He is so brave and can talk about his experiences. He's even admitted to killing a few people before. I'm so proud of him. I've never seen him shed a tear or show emotion. He's a hard bastard. He's even been able to play some shooting games and take me and my brother out to a range before. He's my hero. Ura to the doc!
I totally understand what you’re going through I’m taking some strong medicine for my ptsd for abuse mentally and emotionally, I’ll never understand what you’ve been through man, God bless and be strong
I began to pray for those who gave me ptsd, 100% Nam. 3 days of rushing went to 1, anger lessened, I am being healed by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God will be our Teacher, and Comforter, Forever, in the bible book of John, chapter fourteen, verse twenty six.
God bless you brother Relax You fought for a reason You didn't pull the trigger just like that....I know how you feel You will be good Relax God bless you..
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
how badly do i want to stand by these people and let them know, they are not alone...they are just so great to have been in dangerous situations in war and their life is scarred with the bad experiences they faced. it is even more painful when we look at that as someone like our father, friend, husband or brother. i hope God gives them His best and saves these soldiers. I also want to desperately believe that there is a God. Take care soldiers and get well soon....
13 years later my therapist says I still have one of the most severe vases she's ever seen/treated. Seems EVERYTHING triggers me... I once turned my house into a makeshift base even... my husband has now put up a hooch for me in the back 40. I still feel like I'm in a combat zone every day.
God bless you... I understand on a much lesser level but more than you know. The automatic adrenaline switch can be turned off. It takes a long time and lots of practice. Don't give up. So proud of you. We do our best and that is all we can do. Fate is cruel sometimes. You do not stand alone in this struggle as you well know....
"War seems like a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know. Then they get a taste of battle. For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they’ve been gutted by an axe. They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take the wound, and when that’s still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water. If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron half helm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the small folk whose land they’re fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it’s just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don’t know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they’re fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad in all steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world. And the man breaks." ― George R. R. Martin, A Feast for Crows
I did 1 tour in VW and stayed after the war until 2009. They tried to get me to take my uniform off and I refused. I kept the same uniform on everyday since 1967. I refused to wash off my friends brain from my uniform.
Don't take pills dude. Iraq Veteran here. Don't take them. Our founders and our WW1 and WW2 guys saw worse. And they didn't have pills. I don't feel sorry for you. STAND UP SOLDIER.
Many people Suffer they never tell a Person wanting to be a Soldier of the Out come The Challenges after Fighting in a War Thrown Country Like Afghanistan . Yet make it sound so Appealing to Signing up . Then when in Need of Help the VA and Military Back away , So many in Need of Counselling and Medical they are either denied or taking forever to get it worked threw . This is Not Fair. Thank you kindly for sharing this . May God Bless you for your Service, Stay Strong for your Family They Love you
I suffer from ptsd as a corrections officer. Nobody cares about us and the military isn't any easy. In doing the hallucinating , the postman is far too terrified to talk to me Every single person is a threat
I gave a man his last meal , 45 minutes later he was dead , I spent a whole month in sadr city , war is about the guys next to u , that’s all … I love u vets
My time as RGN . It's about detecting things early. So somewhat experience. Emotion are more than feelings. Feelings more than things. Be happy luck as mine 😁😁
We have a fly of fight response activated when we are in danger. Your nervous system has two branches, the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The parasympathetic is the freeze response which is responsible for playing dead. You can get out of trauma by telling yourself that the world and people are safe. It’s just energy trapped in your system. The key is to release the energy TRE exercises are great for that🙏🏻💫🤗thank you for your service
There’s weed I think that’s medical super medical u sleep like there no tomorrow super stress reliever anxiety relief extremely calms everyone needs at least one joint to know ohh forgot to mention I cures cancer and it’s cheaper that’s why it’s illegal because it’s great and works
Think about this for a while, BeastlyGamer Dude, before you decide to serve your country. There's a deep instinctual drive in men to want to run to the battlefield in order to protect wife and children, the whole tribe even. That was how life happened in the past. Now, we live in modernised warfare, with nukes, planes with bombs, weaponized drones, super soldiers and war-zones with landmines. The wife and kids can't be saved by running off to battle, nowadays, see what I mean? The combat of the old days was very different from the present one, where too many lives, soldiers and civilians, are destroyed in order to balance the books of those in the global casino, playing power-games. Scenarios are deliberately designed, describing, or rather.... orchestrating.... the present hostility between the US and Russia, creating animosity in those of us who swallow blindly what's presented on our screen or radio broadcast. Divide and conquer is a game well played to this day. Victory is for the saviour who is the designer of this game. It can only be stopped when we stop buying into it. An example of such a scenario is when the true nature of the EU was revealed in the Greek drama of autumn 2015. Greece's resources are ripped off, after plunging Greece deliberately in huge debts and accuse it of corruption and incompetence in the eyes of all who were seated in the arena, smirking in glee. So that EU headquarters could present itself as the good guy, doing the right thing. In truth it's a scenario for the benefit of puppet-masters in the banking/corporation-world who are making efforts to turn us into cattle on Animal Farm, described by George Orwell. "Four legs... good, two legs... bad" Warfare is present on a personal level as well. Those individuals, who hack at the roots of evil, in an attempt to expose its designer, are silenced to death in obscure ways. Humanity is on death row once each of us is chipped. We, you and I need to invest our high levels of adrenaline in projects aiming for the liberation of each human being. The best antidote for warfare.
I was wounded in Vietnam 47 years ago and lost both my legs. I can assure you that the PTSD will fade away as you age. It did for me and back in my time they still weren't sure what PTSD was or how to treat it. I was never treated for it and had some rough times wat back when.

The iraq war especially was just nationalistic dickwaving contest with deadly consequences for Iraqis and u.s vets

"War seems like a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know.
Then they get a taste of battle.
For some, that one taste is enough to break them.
Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first.
Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they’ve been gutted by an axe.
They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now.
They take the wound, and when that’s still half-healed they take another.
There is never enough to eat, their shoes fall to pieces from marching, their clothes are torn and rotting, and half of them are shitting in their breeches from drinking bad water.
If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron half helm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the small folk whose land they’re fighting in, men very like the men they used to be.
They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it’s just a short step to carrying off their daughters too.
And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize.
They don’t know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they’re fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground.
And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad in all steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world.
And the man breaks."
― George R. R. Martin, A Feast for Crows
God bless you 🙏
Keep going strong brother.
I did 1 tour in VW and stayed after the war until 2009. They tried to get me to take my uniform off and I refused. I kept the same uniform on everyday since 1967. I refused to wash off my friends brain from my uniform.
great video
Don't take pills dude. Iraq Veteran here. Don't take them. Our founders and our WW1 and WW2 guys saw worse. And they didn't have pills. I don't feel sorry for you. STAND UP SOLDIER.

Many people Suffer they never tell a Person wanting to be a Soldier of the Out come The Challenges after Fighting in a War Thrown Country Like Afghanistan . Yet make it sound so Appealing to Signing up .

Thank you kindly for sharing this . May God Bless you for your Service, Stay Strong for your Family They Love you

True hero.
The war never dies within

Wow, this was very informative!!
If no-one told You today, I Love You!!!
My time as RGN . It's about detecting things early. So somewhat experience. Emotion are more than feelings. Feelings more than things. Be happy luck as mine 😁😁
Think I have this now
One thing is for sure,hes a pantera fan.noticed the phil anselmo tattoo.It was nice to see that he was able to have another kid.
We have a fly of fight response activated when we are in danger. Your nervous system has two branches, the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The parasympathetic is the freeze response which is responsible for playing dead. You can get out of trauma by telling yourself that the world and people are safe. It’s just energy trapped in your system. The key is to release the energy TRE exercises are great for that🙏🏻💫🤗thank you for your service
That pile of pills in the first minute breaks my heart. The VA is poisoning us with that garbage. Veterans pick up the plant and put down the pills.
There’s weed I think that’s medical super medical u sleep like there no tomorrow super stress reliever anxiety relief extremely calms everyone needs at least one joint to know ohh forgot to mention I cures cancer and it’s cheaper that’s why it’s illegal because it’s great and works
If a short war effort leaves a post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental disorders to a soldier, how do the Iraqis and the Afghans feel?
i wanna serve for my family and our country, but idk if i will ever get this if i do serve
Think about this for a while, BeastlyGamer Dude, before you decide to serve your country. There's a deep instinctual drive in men to want to run to the battlefield in order to protect wife and children, the whole tribe even. That was how life happened in the past. Now, we live in modernised warfare, with nukes, planes with bombs, weaponized drones, super soldiers and war-zones with landmines.
The wife and kids can't be saved by running off to battle, nowadays, see what I mean? The combat of the old days was very different from the present one, where too many lives, soldiers and civilians, are destroyed in order to balance the books of those in the global casino, playing power-games.
Scenarios are deliberately designed, describing, or rather.... orchestrating.... the present hostility between the US and Russia, creating animosity in those of us who swallow blindly what's presented on our screen or radio broadcast. Divide and conquer is a game well played to this day. Victory is for the saviour who is the designer of this game. It can only be stopped when we stop buying into it.
An example of such a scenario is when the true nature of the EU was revealed in the Greek drama of autumn 2015. Greece's resources are ripped off, after plunging Greece deliberately in huge debts and accuse it of corruption and incompetence in the eyes of all who were seated in the arena, smirking in glee. So that EU headquarters could present itself as the good guy, doing the right thing. In truth it's a scenario for the benefit of puppet-masters in the banking/corporation-world who are making efforts to turn us into cattle on Animal Farm, described by George Orwell. "Four legs... good, two legs... bad"
Warfare is present on a personal level as well. Those individuals, who hack at the roots of evil, in an attempt to expose its designer, are silenced to death in obscure ways. Humanity is on death row once each of us is chipped.
We, you and I need to invest our high levels of adrenaline in projects aiming for the liberation of each human being. The best antidote for warfare.
When I saw the baby, my fist flew up in the air! 👏👏👏👏
