      War is psychologically traumatic.
      Talking about it in any manner will surely trigger bad memories for some.
      For some, seeing others profit from talking about it will trigger mixed feelings.
      My father was a Vietnam vet; as a kid, we had a neighbor that was also. Many times, he would come over and my father had to 'talk him down'...

Also, he's doing big things with charities and supporting his family! There is NOTHING wrong with that!! The "community" rejecting him needs to take a long, hard look at their own hearts.

    Mr. Ballen is hands down, in my humble opinion, the best storyteller on RUclips. He's magnetic and hypnotic. He doesn't take himself too seriously, but he always shows the utmost respect for the victims who's story he's telling. He's also got a foundation that helps families of victims of violent crime. So not only did he serve his country in the SEALS, he is continuing to serve the people of this country that truly need it. He does it out of the kindness of his heart. He's a great dude as far as I'm concerned. Screw the active duty guys that gave him grief for telling his story. Jealousy is ugly no matter the form it takes, or the person harboring it.

This is his community, the one he built all by himself, and he should be so proud of that. Never let the b*st*rods bring you down John.

    My father joined the Marines as a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD during World War 2.
    He served for three years in the South Pacific before suffering coral poisoning from rolling down a beach to escape enemy fire and almost died. He was evacuated back to Honolulu where he spent NINE MONTHS fighting for his life, before being medically discharged and sent back to the U.S. His one wish was to be back with his buddies, fighting for this country. Their next assignment would have been either
    Okinawa or Iwo Jima.

    The only story I've heard Mr. Ballin tell about his time as a seal is when he pretty much got blown up by a grenade and his life was saved by his team members. He made them out to be the heroes, not himself. He acknowledges that he was in the SEALs because non-mil people find that kind of stuff interesting, and his job is literally telling interesting stories, but he's not aggrandizing himself by it.

    • @craigshrimpton5765

He shares stories like how beautiful yet how 'quiet and eerie' it was looking out in the open country back in Afghanistan when he was retelling the infamous OP Rock incident. Or how his training mates would reproach him for being a bit hubristic at selection at San Diego and that's about it. He shares harmless stuff that even remotely compromise SEAL's tactical effectiveness in any way. As for his combat experience he never shares it besides how he got depressed after he retired. The amount of hate he is getting from SEALs is beyond me.

      He talked more about being a seal when he was just starting out. You know, to help get the ball moving.
      So yeah, he definitely traded on the navy seal name early on. Still does a bit. As far as I'm concerned though, he *EARNED* it. He's not doing something to bring shame to the club or anything like that, so who the hell cares.
      Guy's just trying to make his way in the world and earn an honest living.

    He healed himself and has healed many more with his selfless actions making youtube videos and making foundations to help others

He has every right to wear that badge of honor because not many people achieve that. Hell, even making it into the military alone is more of an accomplishment than most people, and to succeed within and outside of the military is even smaller of a number. Also from one vet to another, happy veterans day, hope you guys aren't hit too hard with overtime on everyone else's day off.
