I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but I can see where you are coming from with the whole "PTSD but enjoyed it" think.

Crazy, confusing, loud, but at the same time all your senses are 200%

2017-02-22 04:09:28 UTC  

What would you say the US K/D ratio was? Do our forces take out more terrorists than they lose?

2017-02-22 04:10:02 UTC  

Do you think that's common?

especially in the Marines, were trained to want that kill

2017-02-22 04:10:23 UTC  

and it feels good

2017-02-22 04:10:34 UTC  

Interesting.

2017-02-22 04:10:58 UTC  

Where do you think the PTSD comes from? Closeness to death? Actions?

2017-02-22 04:11:42 UTC  

closeness to death, anxiety about whats gonna happen, hyper alertness, being shot, just a lot

2017-02-22 04:11:49 UTC  

but thats me

2017-02-22 04:12:25 UTC  

been in a few IEDs, and fought in the biggest battle s of 2004 there

2017-02-22 04:12:25 UTC  

Is there any lessons you think should be shared?

2017-02-22 04:12:34 UTC  

Sounds stressful as fuck.

2017-02-22 04:12:57 UTC  

yeah, keep your eyes open, have a plan before you move, know where your friends are, and dont just shoot a fucker once, double tap him and put two more in his head

2017-02-22 04:13:00 UTC  

it is

2017-02-22 04:13:15 UTC  

and ALWAYS maintain your physical fitness

2017-02-22 04:13:21 UTC  

You said you fought with the Kurds? what are they like?

2017-02-22 04:13:39 UTC  

I hear they're pretty cool, except for some socialist traits.

2017-02-22 04:13:47 UTC  

I've heard conflicting reports about them
