Why do so many vets become homeless drug addicts?

>Clean for 63 days today.
Good for you. Stay strong, it's worth it.

Nice try Matt

I know it is! I start my new job tmrw, send me all your energy. Good salary, premo benefits and retirement. Passed that piss test with flying colors

Who’s Matt?

There is no point of no return. Every decision is a chance to make the right choice. Every day is a chance to be, even if only a little, less shitty than the day before. Your life doesn't turn around with one decision. It turns around with a bunch of small choices made each day. You can do it user.

Every homeless drug addict pretends to a be a vet. I'm guessing you're the exception and not the rule, and therefore you are the only one who knows why you got into doing drugs. Stop trying to find similarities within others like and take responsibility for your own stupid actions.

PSTD or depression did not put the drugs in your hand user, you did.

This triggers the veterans

amazingly our jewish government doesn't actually give a shit about the retards who die for it.

I used to think I was alone in my struggles, and was admitted into a VA hospital for months. It was remarkable how similar other vets stories and experiences were to my own, and most were in much worse shape than myself.

Karmic retribution.
/thread

i was a homeless vet a few years ago.
its bc of the mental problems we get from being in combat.

Spent many years stationed in Germany. Was real depressed when I came home. Did not have your mother to sick me off while your dad went to get me a beer. Did not have your sister and cousins to drain my balls in. But I was able to get by and lead a normal life

>be dumb kid
>get fooled by HS recruiters
>promised money, actions, fighting for "muh cuntry
>actually fight for non-sensical international conflicts where the US arms the terrorists
>come home
>wife/gf left you as soon as you deployed
>family forgot about you
>programs for veterans dont work
>fall into deep depression

the US military is the ultimate scam

stop doing drugs you fucking retard. And get a job

I'm in school, the semester just ended today.

Beeing a vet is not a usefull qualification if you are not it combat.

Retard alert.

It's because the majority of servicemen couldn't make it in the real world to begin so they joined the military to be coddled.

>free food
>free place to stay
>free utilities
>tax free welfare bucks

Once they leave the bosom of mommy government and they actually have to fend for themselves many can't handle it to begin with.

I blame the military for not having programs to readjust servicemen to civilian life. Aka the real world.

Doesnt US armed forces have career development programs or GI Bills for college? Or are these soldiers too retarded to use them

Good job Kevin.

the world never stops being in combat

A lot of them join the military as a last resort they couldn't cut it in college or couldn't find any other career options other then the military, and they join the military and do the bare minimum the entire time in the military never finding a skill set or anything then come out as a failure.

Our standards of comfort and what is acceptable never get quite right, in the civilian sense. Sleeping outside was normal for us at a very young age, therefore conditions that should bother us, that would bother most normal people simply don't bother us as much as they should. We live life like we're out in the field.

Career development a joke most people become grunts, not doctors or nurses in the military. GI bill is redeeming because free college but most of these people still pushing that high school grade school mentality and don't make good choice on what to major in.

brain damage from mefloquine

I've seen guys use them for those shitty private colleges. Like University of Pheonix just to get the extra monthy money all the time

PTSD. Also an unbridled sense of entitlement, in some cases.

Also this.

I'm diagnosed with PTSD, but I'm not even sure wtf it is. I'm just anti-social.

Stop being so damn weak. The only one putting drugs in your hands is yourself. Ease yourself off of 'em slowly if you have to, but get rid of that poison entirely. You're just killing yourself.

You think the ancient warriors of the past who were up close and personal literally slashing guts open and heads off with swords had 'PTSD' like all these vets claim? If anything, some of those people had reason to be like that. Sure, guns can do a lot of damage, but I'm sure the melee fighting they did was a lot more bloody...

>the only one putting drugs in your hand is you.
Truthfully it's my girlfriend, she's a terrible influence on me. I need to just leave her alone.

If you are a combat veteran you have seen and done things that 95% of the population cannot easily cope with, mentally. PTSD is not like the movies, you can get it and not even realize you were terribly traumatized until later due to the adrenaline, etc.

I would see a therapist, and get good with God.

Neck yourself.
Unironically leave her.

this isnt true at all, you become a super paranoid uncomfortable person because you fully comprehend the fragility of life. you dont seek adrenaline actually you start being scared of everything

Well, I don't know anything about that, but you gotta start somewhere. You HAVE to resist and if you love her, help her too.

Good luck.

your blaming someone else for your drug use, fucking pathetic bro. no idea how you served when you are so addicted to excuses, something that does not fly in military circles

good insight mate, ive always theorised that it’s because they have mental problems after traumatic experiences and realising your service to zog with was nothing.

how is that good insight, it is literally the opposite of reality

>You think the ancient warriors of the past who were up close and personal literally slashing guts open and heads off with swords had 'PTSD' like all these vets claim?
yes and I imagine it was fucking awful. however that being said
The PTSD that soldiers get is mostly from bombs, explosions, shit is very startling and it happened to them all the time, things that a medieval warrior wouldn't have to think or wonder about. it's not really about seeing horrific shit, it's about being triggered to make your brain think you're in a combat situation, which any loud noise will do if you're so fucked up mentally from hearing bombs fall all of the time. PTSD is worse now than it used to be, by pretty significant margins. video related youtube.com/watch?v=IWHbF5jGJY0

This is exactly the feeling.

the reality of PTSD is it's exhaustive, once you fully experienced with the fragility of life you become hyper-vigilant and never relaxed. Not while driving, not while alone in your home, never. it's a very specific type of suffering.

I don't have sympathy for these types of people. Why even join the military if you're going to cry like a faggot about "what goes on overseas"? You know what you signed up for.

thank god for another actual vet, hang in there brother

you shouldn't, 80% of service members will never deploy, of the 20% that do only about 10% of them will ever actually participate in small arms combat. so the statistical chance of encountering a *real* combat veteran is extremely small despite every faggot desk jockey claiming the title after the fact,

Vets are just psychopaths or parasites looking for gov gibs. Not surprising they can't succeed anywhere else in life.

I'm clean 13 years, if I can do you can. Do what ever it takes, rehab, AA, counseling. The best advice i can give is find a hobby or positive distraction for when you're alone at night. And remember if you take antidepressants etc you're just swapping dealers

I was not a good marine. I was a skate artist that regularly did things that risked brig time. As far as my gf goes. She's the one that brings the shit around offers it to me. I think she does it to keep me. I'd be clean and sober if it were not for her. It's really hard to do the right thing when you are constantly offered drugs.

well if shes sabotaging you because she knows your too good for her than that's another entirely seperate set of issues, that luckily for you i am familiar with untangling.

>It's really hard to do the right thing when you are constantly offered drugs.
they give this advice to literal 12 year olds. Just say no. it's not hard you just like being high. I'm a recovered addict and can only laugh at posts like these.

>vets
You have done bad for the whites

kinda my thoughts as well, as if any drug addict in the world would have a bad reaction to the following
>you know what you can just keep my half of the drugs for yourself
im sure she would be enraged

yeah well that's the thing about drugs and addicts, they try to help anyone who is addicted to the drugs by giving them the drugs. It's a cycle. She actually would be enraged because doing hard drugs is a very social thing, as long as everyone is killing themselves it feels better. That's why it's sort of difficult to stop doing drugs. Your community actively tries to keep you high.

The real question is, who cares? The more you losers look like losers, the more kids of the next generation can learn not to waste their lives serving ZOG like you.

for some reason saying no to drugs, when offered feels like admitting defeat.

So glad to see some positive stories about getting clean in here. I never thought I'd be able to, I was shooting up meth every day. Sometimes staying up for 4-5 days at a time. Truly an awful time in my life, but I was able to overcome it and get clean. I'm coming up on 3 years now. It isn't impossible and if I can do it so can you

They don't. Most drug addicted, homeless vermin CLAIM to be vets so that people will be more sympathetic and likely to give them some change.

Stay clean bro. I got 26 months now. Life is 10000x better without drugs and alcohol.

I know exactly what you mean. I think you'll find that it will initially feel that way, but after even a week all of your other addict friends are going to start talking about their own sobriety. And even if you do have to lose your social circle and everything you have built in that sphere, it's worth it, because you're only keeping junkies impressed which is a useless thing to do.

I think there are those people as well. In my experience its not the fear of death but the fear of dying for no reason.

If the bum dioesn't show me his DD 214, he doesn't get a dime.

Because the military is welfare for useless white trash, niggers and other shit skins that want to act out their retarded call of duty video game fantasies

Maybe if you're Chad getting his happy feelings exogenously from being liked by everyone and hot girls chasing your dick. If you're a loser what's the point of taking the full force of hard mode life with low stats fully sober. Do you get a sticker at the end?

more like you fully realize that a tree branch could snap and insta kill you, or some 12 year old with a pocket knife sneaking up could kill you, or that someone talking too much to you while your driving could kill you both

once you've seen small little things result in people no longer being alive a few times you will never be the same

Yeah it was called "low morale"
And it was treated like this
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimation_(Roman_army)

because employers/ees quickly get sick of them screaming/crying everytime someone shuts a door too hard

i heard it was because they realize who they're actually fighting for when deployed
