Hello Jow Forums Im an old retired us army infantryman and, for various reasons, the time has come to end it all. I have a 1911 and I plan to kill myself in a nearby forest. What is the best way to make sure it goes smoothly. I dont want someone to find me and "save" my life. Im looking for target advice here not morality please.

Don't add to gun death statistics, huff monoxide or make an exit bag.

This, also can i have your guns?

Aint got time for that nonsense. I got a .45 and a death wish. You people are not being helpful.

You can have my guns when Im dead. Go find them.

Trolling outside of /b/ is a bannable offense.

No troll my friend. Im out this sunday, late mountain time.

Ok dump them off somewhere and give us coordination before you kill yourself. Also what do you need help with? Just walk out into the woods and blow your brains out, pretty simple. Why would someone stop you fag? Your just a hiker/hobo/creep in the woods, they dont know what your up to.

Ive been on this god forsaken website since 06. I would be remiss to somehow not involve you in my end. I am open to subtle requests regarding my death however, the main issue here is finality.

People survive getting shot in the head all the time. All I know is failure drill and Im not sure I can shoot myself twice in the chest and once in the head. Im leaning toward in the mouth, concussion wave can serve double duty that way.

Honestly I hate to see you go but I'm not sure anything here could stop you. I wish you well in anything you do and could you tell us why at the very least?

What race are you, and what is your political ideology?

I have had a very long and very painful life. This isnt a spur of the moment thing. I apprecitate that no one wants to see me dead, but the time has come. I did my time, now its time to move on.

Im a filthy white male and I voted for trump, though i did so beacause I thought it would be funny. Luckily, it was funny.

what year did you go to sand hill?

I also want everyone to know that I have no wife no kids and the majority of my family is dead due to various cancers. I have lived alone for the last few years. Very few people will be harmed by the news of my demise.

Feburary 06 my friend. F co 1/50. SDS Skibbe. I would attach a picture of the two of use at graduation, but I dont want to give away my identity too soon for obvious reasons.

Behind the ear, try to make it exit in the same place on the opposite side of your head, if you do mouth i think theres a certain angle that will just fuck you up but i dont remember. If your afraid of not dieing and being a potato for life then od on pills. Slit your wrists. Then shoot, still not enough? Do all of that on the edge of a bridge or the middle of a body of water

Will you bequeath your 1911 to me I've always wanted one.

i was there in june 08, then went eod in 11, ets'd in 15. pic is me 2nd from left. what's your motivation?

Op why not die in a fun way? Go to chicago and be a vigilante or stab diane Feinstein to death or pull a taxi driver or something? Do you have no motivation left?

Dude stop. I know you sound like a grouchy old coot stuck in his ways but hear me out

Suicide is fucked up awful shit that fucks up the minds of the people in your life, depresses them, causes them so much grief and suffering and makes them more likely to off themselves

I lost someone to a KYS and it was one of the saddest things I can remember

Surely someone out there actually gives a shit about you

If I can't convince you, you'll have the additional shame of having offed yourself with a fudd caliber

Ill make a new thread with more info closer to the event. I warn you though, I doubt the authorities would look kindly on you taking it from the scene of the death.

Im doing it in a secluded part of a state park. Hopefully far enough from traffic that the vultures will find me first.

Already posted motivation. I did 11 years including one tour in Afganistan. Really though, i was fucked from birth. Joining up was a suicide attempt in the first place, but the fucking DOD sent me to 5 years in the NTC before I ever saw action. Loved every second of it though. Really, I have no beef with the Army. I cant beleive they paid me to do some of the things I did.

Honestly, I'm quite young and suffer from depression, GAD, and apparently I have high functioning autism but it might be an incorrect diagnosis. I hope my young age doesn't make you think that I'm immature or anything but I really feel you. I've realized though that generally there is always something you haven't tried in life to change things up (like meds or lifestyle changes). However with your older age I'm leaning towards and hoping that you are confident and reasonable in your decision and that you will be able to carry it out divisively.

The most Jow Forums method for suicide that I've thought would be to make a slamfire pipe shotgun and hold the muzzle at your head and slam the end onto the ground because good 12 gauge is almost a 100% confirmed kill if you get it right. Also explosives would probably work well, especially if you put them around your neck (there are many images on here as you probably know to make different explosives). But generally I think the best option would be 12 gauge to the head.

My brother still cares about me Im sure, but I cant keep suffering just for him. I realize that the vast majority of suicides are spontaneous and wrong, but surely you can imagine a situation where its justified. Ive been around a long time, its time to end my story. Honestly, If I had died in Spin Boldak, I would be remembered as a hero and everyone would be over it by now. Stupid lazy ass insurgents and their inferior IEDs.

>joining up was a suicide attempt in the first place

Are you me in the future?

OP dont just kill yourself. What a waste of potential. Go shoot some Antifa faggots and then kill yourself instead. Im asking this kindly

You are even more fucked than me. I joined 06 when Falluja and "The Surge" was all over the media and the Army Infantry still failed to off me. I cant imagine what the death rate for new 11Bs is these days, sub 1% maybe.
BTW pic is of my 1/11 HHT platoon shortly after I got there. Points to whoever guesses which one I am.

write a book and then do it. it'll help people and provide insight to vet suicides

Im sure to say this multple times, but how am I to ensure I can kill Antifa Faggots and still guarantee death. You are adding uncertaintity to something I want finality to.

alright fair enough. pull a McVeigh then. Jow Forums will remember it until the site shuts down

actually dont do that the feds watch these threads. pet a cat and have a good dinner and call it a wrap

I went through a ton of army suicide training including Master Resilience Training. Honestly my advice is to ensure that soliders have jobs immediately after ETS even if they dont want it. The worst thing you can do is leave them alone. Again, I was fucked from birth but, soldiers need purpose and removing purpose from them is fatal.

Your military brother love you.

Keep one for yourself obviously
That being said don't kill yourself, the world will need you sooner rather than later

I think living alone might have contributed to your current state. If you haven't gotten help already, then I can't recommend suicide even though I sent a few methods in another post. Please, if you haven't gotten all the help you can, then don't do it. You have so much more value than a good portion of this country, judging by how you talk and the fact that you served. Please don't do it. Enough veterans kill themselves already.

Vets kill themselves for a reason. You are right that living alone hasnt helped but it isnt the only reason by far. I appreciate that you want me to live and I believe that you are genuine, but the game is over for me. My regret is that people like you have to soldier on in this world.

Motherfucker you swore an OATH to protect this country and we're about to get a fucking Democratic socialist in office if the polls are right this time around! You do not GET to kill yourself, that's a luxury for the weak filth that are causing this shit! You some kind of fucking pussy or are you an AMERICAN? Man the fuck up, we've got maybe a decade left to prepare before shit falls apart, and we're gonna need every red blooded American we can get, WHICH MEANS YOU.

And so the tragedy of life strikes yet again. What's wrong OP? Tired of pushing the ol' boulder? Don't have a reason to?

I assume thats a suicide hotline. Those only work on those who want to live. I did counseling both through the military and civilan sources. Neither one had answers.

Being this close to the end provided clarity. I would counsel everyone here to find a tradtional woman and get married. Life is very pointless when there isnt something to protect. I imagine I would suffer anything If I had a wife and kids.

Get a dog. It will love you and you can protect each other.

>I would counsel everyone here to find a tradtional woman and get married.
>I imagine I would suffer anything If I had a wife and kids.
you didnt get cucked did you? theres other fish in the sea. one of my uncles married late

I have had the best SGMs and LTCs yelling at me friend. I have a distinguished military record including an honorable dd-214. I've got at least 2 one stars who will remember my name upon reading the obit. Beratement has no effect here.

Politics is pointless by the way. Nothing substantial changed from D to R over my entire lifetime that couldn't be explained by the rythmmns of history. As I said, I voted for Trump because it was funny.

user I was 11b, 2 tours in Iraq. Don't do it. Get sober and get into some VA classes. Call your some people from your old platoon like time now, message em on Facebook or whatever. You'll leave everyone that served with you with a hole in their soul. Just keep moving forward, lots of us in the trenches with you

What are you dealing with? Moral injury? Hyper vigilance from fight or flight? Blast trauma? Speak up. Where did you serve overseas?

YOU NEED TO GO TRAVEL TO SOME ASIAN 3RD WORLD SHITHOLE AND GET YOUR DICK WET. STOP WITH THE WOE IS ME FAGGOTSHIT.

Joined when I was young, sent to Death Valley. I never had a chance to get cucked. My problems lie much deeper than a thot here or there.

Just got leave your car running, take some sleepy pills and go out peacefully. I could give a fuck why you are killing yourself but don't use a gun.

I went in July '05 Delta 2/58. Don't kill yourself cocksucker holy shit. Everyone's lost too many, nobody knows the real numbers. Are you currently sober? Substance abuse?

are you an organ donor?

did you know a dude named bigot?

Attached: 6b6.png (648x685, 550K)

Your problems aren't any worse than what alot of other vets are dealing with. Quit the WOE IS ME shit. We're all in the trenches with you. You off yourself, it's just gonna pass your ruck off to your Brothers to deal with. What exactly are You going through that you don't think the rest of us former 11bs are going through?

You wanna fess up and tell us whats wrong dude? You're obviously here for attention if you weren't you would just blow yourself away already. It's not like you need to make a thread asking about how to do it; its pretty simple. Stop being melodramatic and tell us the story.

i'm pretty sure he lost his sense of purpose after getting medically retired, in which case he needs to do what I said and go slay some 3rd world gooks with his dick

How do you think Giffords didn't get killed?

This isnt Woe is me shit, other than the fact im venting on a mongolian basket weaving forum. Im just putting my shit out there and asking for target placement advice. This isnt something I can redo.

Im also not leaving a ruck for the next guy to carry. Im out, been out for 2 years. I specifically moved away from my remaining friends and family so they could forget me. Now the time has come. Can none of you truely imagine a situation where a quick way out is the correct one?

Whats wrong is more than a Jow Forums thread can fix, even if you had a time machine. The game is over, im out this sunday late.

Assuming that name is serious, no.

>Whats wrong is more than a Jow Forums thread can fix, even if you had a time machine.
Yeah, it's obvious you've either made up your mind or are trolling. I'm just bored and wanna hear it.

Rule #1: Individuals don't change society, populations do. Why do you think Yugoslavia broke apart in the first place?

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself

Can I have your gold fillins' when you're dead?

I dont have a great story of personal torment. My father abused me, my mother stood by. I endured it to protect my brother. I joined the army as a suicide attempt. The army failed to off me. After my time life wasn't exactly better so I moved away from my family and slowly burned my savings until the time came to end it. And here we are.

Also, I see a number of people insinuating that Im a virgin, I fucked chicks in college, mostly at drunken frat parties. I just never had a relationship. Better for all parties involved I might think.

Ok but WHAT specifically is causing you to want to end it? Speak up. I did two tours in Iraq, 15 months during Surge in Baghdad in 07 and then I was stop lossed in 09. I've gone thru the ringer out here too, so What are you dealing with that can't be unfucked? I promise you I've dealt with it, as have many others. So what is it? Moral injury? Are you going into fight or flight too much? How much are you drinking. I wanna know. Don't leave your friends/family like that
>Don't leave your ruck
That was a metaphor, it means your death will be stuffed into their "ruck" to deal with
>Can none of you truely imagine a situation
Yes. I already stated above you whatever you're dealing with, I promise I've been there. I've stuck guns in my mouth and figured out the best way I was gonna do it. If you were gonna do it you wouldn't be on here posting your story, you woulda just done it. So speak up. If you're gonna kill yourself, and you're serious, might as well elaborate a bit. My unit did ALOT of fucked up shit in Iraq, I'll live with it forever. We already lost literally the funniest dude in our company to suicide, and it will be with us. So speak up man, the mic is yours. What's really on your mind?

When you feel as if your mental state can't keep up with the increasing madness in our world. I'm not suicidal myself, but I can relate to that, m8.

No significant dental work other than wisdom teeth removal im afraid.

Why not go join some mercenary group in the middle east and shoot some sand monkeys or some shit? That's a lot more fucking dignified than killing yourself like a fucking yellow coward

US Army KABAR. Leather grip. Sharpen it beforehand. Open the arteries on your arms. Just a long cut down the forearm will do. This is far more honorable than suicide by gunshot. I have witnessed that firsthand, and you don't want to go that way. Hear me now believe me later. God bless you user. I pray Jesus and the mercy of the Blessed Virgin Mary will stay your hand.

Not him, but he seemed to go through a lot more than combat tours. A lot more.

t. child abuse survivor

I wanted to see the superbowl this year before I exited. Plus its roughly 3 years since my father's suicide. Much as I hate the man, the timing seems appropriate.

There is a reason Im posting here. You people are the anonymous assholes of the internet in an increasingly pussified age. I knew you all would try to stop me, but at the same time Im sure you all wont try to write an important think piece on how Trump has caused more evil in the universe. Some things are above the politics of the last 3-4 years.

Army doesnt issue KABARs friend. Plus im not going out like some teenager listening to Evanescence.

Like what? Elaborate. Fuck if you're gonna blast yourself at least talk about it some, get it off your chest. If you haven't already done so GTFO social media and quit watching the news. It feeds into negative thought bootloops, sorta like MK Ultra through repitition. Are you drinking heavy?

What's bothering OP is that he feels like he's going to wind up as a punching bag for the rest of his life. And to put salt in the wound, not a whole lot of guys like us get any companionship because of this bullshit emasculation stigma.

That's still not a reason to quit and check out.

>Killing yourself over THOTs
Fuck Noooooooo

>I went through a ton of army suicide training including Master Resilience Training.
Same. It's 100% bullshit. Yeah, it works if you are disciplined enough to implement the procedure but that is not what depressed people will do.

>Honestly my advice is to ensure that soliders have jobs immediately after ETS even if they dont want it. The worst thing you can do is leave them alone.
Fucking THIS.

t. been out nearly four years, jobless, drinking every day, only surviving because of the charity of my mother who would probably die if I ended up on the street. Just now kind of sorta getting into college fucking maybe if they accept me.

Read Feser's book on the five proofs of God, OP. Consider that your life is not yours to end. Not because hell or whatever, but simply because you can still make it.

Im insulted that you think Im on social media. I had a facebook account briefly in 2013 for the sole purpose of passing a DOD TS investigation. That shit is long deleted.

And throwing demands and insults at someone isn't going to talk anyone out of anything.

OP I know this you speaking in the 3rd person. Don't kill your fucking self over women holy shit. You didn't survive Afghanistan, to get beat down by THOT culture man. C'mon

>Im insulted that you think Im on social media.
Your the biggest bitch. Shoot yourself now

I've never been a victim of abuse.
I've got people I hate though. Those people would be very happy if I killed myself. It might be the same way with you. I don't know. I do know your brothers will miss you. Both the biological one you saved and the ones you suffered years with in the infantry.
I'm an infantryman who had one of my buddies from basic kill himself last year, his name was Anatoliy Matthew Givens. I remember him every day. It still hurts. Please, if you've ever cared about anyone in your life don't do this. Call a buddy, call a hotline, shit call me at 2053965223. I'm not a therapist but I can listen.

You still have a mom that looks out for you. I wish you luck user.

At this point im realitvely sure there is no afterlife. If im wrong though, ill save you all a spot in hell.

Well I wouldn't want you to use a faggoty USMC KABAR. Doesn't have to be issue, they're just good blades and take an edge. And emo queers just cut for looks. Opening the veins in a warm bath was the way of Roman patricians who wanted to save face before public humiliation.

Shut up. He was a grunt. I was a grunt. I'm not insulting him I'm trying to speak frankly with him. He knows that.

>hello Im a full grown man
>how do I shoot myself
you dont. let me do it. I'll put 2 in your lower abdomen and walk away as you bleed out you fucking european teenager.

OP here. Ive gotten my dick wet, just never had a relationship worth anything.

you dont even want to mend the mistakes of the past and this terrible cycle? start a family and do it the right way? show the universe things dont have to be as terrible as you had it?

i suppose offing yourself ends the cycle anyway, but a vet offing himself a generic ending

I agree. The biggest tragedy here is that I simply add to the vet suicide stats. I wonder if all the others had the same deep seeded pre enlistment issues too? I suppose its possible.

Correction, he's a human being who has feelings and emotional limits just like anyone else.

Brother you're not the only one who is isolated and without companionship, that is very normal for combat soldiers because we don't trust civilians anyway, never the less vapid females in the #hastag THOT culture. It ain't Worth it, they aren't worth it, and if you work on fixing yourself, and the underlying issues making it hard for you to date, you might find a decent one some day. But damn son don't fucking kill yourself over lack of companionship, seriously. You're not a virgin you said so you have that going, which is probably better than half of Jow Forums. You survived IEDs and RPGs I'm sure, so don't let THOT culture dictate your end for fuck sake. How hard are you hitting the bottle? I've personally been doing substance abuse classes at the VA and they've helped tremendously

Nobody is offending his sensibilities kid, he's obviously a tough fuck he came from Sandhill. Sometimes grunts need tough love

not OP but the guy who is surviving on charity. I am *never* getting fuckin married. It's overrated and too frequently ends up in divorce. Watched it happen to several of my good friend innaarmy. And that's what I grew up with: a disappeared father and a mom who was too fucking crazy and depressed to raise children in a healthy environment. Nearly 20 years later she was still gussying up when he came to collect some tax paperwork. I'm never having kids, sparing them the tediousness of this shithole planet. Working towards becoming a priest. I've had some gfs, had my dick wet, blown money on strippers, did the army thing, did regular jobs. Now I know better than to worry about fucking thots. Maybe I can do some real good.

Nothing is set my guy. Your will is free.

>I wish you luck user.
Thanks my man. If you were OIF you're probably about my age. I hope you change your mind. You're a good egg.

fuck i was going to say something positive and optimistic like there are still good women out there, but even if there are we arent getting them. youre right man. im going to make a KMS thread soon too

I beleive that you are a fellow vet. You talk like one for sure. Thots have nothing to do with this. There is only so long someone can endure the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" before its time to move on.

I hope that you and the other vets here can get over your issues and lead new lives. Especially lives that annoy people. One of the things my dad taught me was to "Afflict the comfortable, and comfort the afflicted." Good advice despite my personal feelings toward the man.

I want you all to know that no one person or entity could change the course of my life. I was doomed from the beginning. I am just glad to have done my duty and mentored a few privates along the way.

I hesitate to approve your choices, but you sound like a goddamn good person user. Miles ahead of some of the chickenhearted faggots on this board. Your loss would be an injury to the ranks of virtuous men.

>Hello Jow Forums Im an old retired us army infantryman

hummm.........somethings not right

Its normal for anyone with half a brain older than 40

t. combat veteran

Bullshit. There's always something worth living for. Don't fucking do it, its shit.

Fuck you for giving them more numbers to shove down our throats.
I hope you botch it and be put on support, but unable to tell them to end it.

I'm the 11b up top that's been talking to you already, and giving you tough love,the Surge guy. Ok just answer me this...are you Sober? What drugs are you on either prescribed or from the street? If you haven't been sober for more than 8 months since you've been out, at least give that a chance. Then if you don't feel better, you can do it. But at least give yourself a fighting chance first if you've been drinking heavy or if you're drunk right now, read the thread tomorrow sober. Also what exactly are your "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune"? Plz elaborate, first person not third person.
