    Es ist unfassbar, wie Politiker und diese Gesellschaft uns dafür im Stich lässt das Kameraden all über den Globus verteilt sich freiwillig melden, ihr Land, ihre Demokratie und ihre Leute zu beschützen in egal welcher Situation und dann, wenn sie am meisten Hilfe brauchen, im Stich gelassen werden von der Armee in welcher sie eins dienten und dem Land welches sie beschützten. Solche Veteranen Vereinigungen egal ob in der UK, in Deutschland oder sonst wo sind ein Segen sollten viel mehr Respekt, Aufmerksamkeit und Mittel bekommen.

    Over 20 years,
    150,610 British service personnel have served in Afghanistan.
    457 died.
    That is a 0.3% death rate.
    I do hope there are no real wars, because there would be so much PTSD amongst the british.

    The price of being human. People always told me, "What did you expect when you joined the military? Surely you knew this is what you would experience!" Yes, I knew what I was getting in to but nothing can prepare you for the mental carnage you have to deal with after combat. The military is brilliant at training you to react and function during combat. People do not understand that PTSD really kicks in when you are not at war or in combat. The suffering comes after, when your brain is allowed time to process what has happened. When you are Operations you do not have time to dwell on matters that have happened, so the signs and affects do not reveal themselves......until you come home. Military people are proud people who do not go looking for help. they will always try to rationalise any problem and deal with it themselves.......that's how we are trained. We do not want to be a burdon. However, we are not qualified to understand what has happened to us, let alone deal with it. I was diagnosed with PTSD five years after the Gulf War and it was like the greatest weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It explained all the feelings I was having yet hiding them from everyone else.
    Thank you for sharing what happened to you. You are not alone. It is not the end of the World and you will get better.

    The part about the chasm, where people are throwing ropes down, it really does feel like that. You know you are in a pit, and you could grab any rope to pull yourself out, you could grab ahold of many ropes, but you chose not to. That is PTSD
    It's a mindset that will destroy the best of the best. Even my Great Grandfather told me stories like these where he watched his best mate step on a mine and then crawl towards my great grandfather with what was left, unknowingly, over another mine ending his mates life.
    All those moments of his time come to a cease. But try not to feel the pain of loss. You should feel the warmth of remembering the good times spent with them and telling those stories instead.
