Another lost to PTSD and suicide

[Polarbear6]

A co-workers son suffering from PTSD took his own life a couple weeks ago. Below is a link to a video made by his Ghost platoon brothers after he was evacuated from grenade injuries.

Rest in Peace Brother

RIP. Honestly, I don't have any answers to this PTSD thing. I've survived things that would horrify most people but they just made me tougher and meaner. I've mellowed a lot but it took many years to enable that.

Counseling helps but as soon as a guy mentions wanting to end his life, the counselor gets all freaked out. For folks with horrible memories haunting them, thoughts of suicide are routine.

I heard a statistic quoted by Greg Gutfeld with Fox News yesterday that over 60% of all veteran suicides are by those over the age of 50

May he finally be at peace. I hope his family and friends make it through this ok.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

Maybe someday soon we can figure this thing out and save lives that really matter.

Someone should hash tag vet lives matter
