    I have never served in the military or been a police officer. That being said, I tried desperately to resuscitate a dying friend and failed. I harbor guilt about that. I have never had success with therapy and have sought my own ways of coping, Skating being one that has been monumentally helpful, but isn't a complete treatment of my pain. This segment, and these people make me feel inspired to continue to unpack, manage, deal with, and grow from my experiences by pursuing alternate avenues. Thanks Jordan Klepper for making content for the world that matters to people like these men, and me.

      I wish you luck. Don’t give up. It’s hard but it’s worth it. Time does help a little. You are not alone. After my best friends suicide I felt that I couldn’t help her so I was useless and just an all around shitty human and a waste of oxygen. What really helped me was volunteering at a hospice. I like to think I helped some great people get over to the other side. It’s weird that we don’t like to think about death even though it happens to every single one of us it seems we are all in denial to greater or lesser degrees and it’s weird that we treat those who are dying ( were all dying in a way as we all have a date with the reaper but I mean those who are sick or in hospice or very old etc) we almost treat it as embarrassing if that’s the right word.. not quite but it’s hard to explain. Maybe something like that could help you as well and help something positive come out of it. At the very least it helps you to get out of your own head and stop dwelling about what you did or didn’t do. We cannot change the past. If you did your best you did all you could. If you feel deep down that you didn’t do your best well we are human we make mistakes besides beating yourself up for the rest of your life will not only not change it, but would your friend want you to be miserable over it forever? Don’t you owe it to him to not disappoint him by driving yourself crazy over it? If you were the one that died that day wouldn’t you want him to go on and have a good life? Besides, are you a doctor? Even doctors make mistakes they are not perfect, and if you had no medical training aren’t you being a bit hard on yourself expecting you to somehow leap into action and save someone when you aren’t even an expert at resuscitation? My friend, we do not control every outcome. Some of it you have to learn to let go. Of the guilt most of all. Forgive me If I crossed a line I know I’m just some stranger on RUclips. But I wish someone had said these things to me, even though I wasn’t prepared to hear them, eventually they would sink in because they are simply true. You didn’t maliciously cause your friends death and while your heart is saying you should’ve done more or couldn’t do enough, there are real people suffering TODAY that you can help which will actually help you so much more than you could ever help them. Just my two cents. Everyone has to find their own way or path through. Just don’t get stuck in the past or give up keep going on that path. And keep going forward not backwards or in circles to use my corny path metaphor. With all my heart I truly do wish you the best for peace of mind and healing. Don’t worry I won’t break into “Kumbaya” w and acoustic guitar I’m not a dirty hippie lolol no offense to hippies lol but seriously your friend probably would hate to see you beating yourself up over something you had so little control over. Get that dragon off your back or chest that guilt will eat you alive and age you before your time if you don’t find a way to. Feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to I’ll call you or you can call if your having a bad day etc I’m in the San Diego area right now but w cell phones long distance isn’t a problem.

      Time dulls the worst of the sharp edges of pain and guilt sometimes until it can’t quite cut anymore but it still hurts. Like this deep ache you can never completely get rid of. I don’t want to forget anyone but I wish it could be more the good times which is what I focus on now instead of the guilt anger sorrow that they didn’t get to do all the things they planned or that we didn’t get to know them for longer than that little slice of time that we were” allowed”.. allowed I guess if you don’t think it’s all random and a concious being is making these decisions. I don’t know.

All they care about is their bottom line. To hell with their own country or the rest of humanity. Then they have the gal to say they are fighting for truth or justice. The lies disgust me to no end, especially because their shenanigans caused terrorism and the worst 2 decade in the history of my city. When the soldiers were saying you don't know the stress of car bombs going off near you and not knowing whether you would make it out alive, I and a lot of my people have experienced that.

      @@Priestofgoddess Your first point is right. The military industrial complex makes way too much money and pays off the US government and congress so they can all keep making money. Yemen was started by Saudi Arabia and the US. Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel fight for power and control, not for their protection. The rest are excuses they make up on the fly like Israel has Hamas to put all the blame on and then Saudi Arabia blames Iran and Iran blames the terrorists that Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia support. All of this is for money, power and control. There's no aspect of it where it's for religion, for protecting people or rights or any of the BS any of these countries put in their PR campaigns.

    Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved in producing this show and for choosing to feature the Valhalla Club in the inaugural episode.
    The three men you showcased had the common dream of becoming wrestling superstars. Each of those men made the heartrending decision to set aside that dream and risked everything in order to serve their country.
    Tonight, in some small part, you've managed to reward these three heroes in a way the government agencies responsible for supporting them never could:
    You gave the entire country an opportunity to see them as the Superstars they truly are.

    This may sound like a totally off-kilter takeaway from this clip, but this appears to be the most authentic peek into the lives of regular Americans in mainstream media atleast and feels eye-opening. In many ways Hollywood is a wonderful dream machine but it also does a strange disservice to regular Americans and how it depicts their lives and consequently how they end up being viewed by people watching from the outside. Everything is so glamorous and they invariably make them look so callous, shiny, first-world with not a care in the world. When in fact they are regular people struggling and trying to deal as best as they can with their lot in life and with such grace and humility.

Although I would like to see Kleppler cover PTSD in minority (black and Hispanic) neighborhoods. While vets go to another country with pay and comeback with support as a black man I have experienced death and harm leading to PTSD (compartmentalize, distancing, etc.) In summary... Keppler should do to a neighborhood to get a better understanding of that.

    Nobody should be afraid of that. All those people in the past, back in 18, 17 century, back in medieval times? They wore emotions on their sleeves. Not all of them, but being a stoic requires heavy training pretty much since childhood. And we aren't living in society that allows to be a stoic. We live in time when we are being told to be calm and compose when every bone in our body wants to cry and to be outraged because society demands us to be outraged.
