Very interesting article, written by a Marine Officer.
Amazing comparisons between 29 Palms and Afghanistan...physically AND emotionally.

A good read. An enlightening read. A read that makes it difficult for me to continue to drink the kool aid.

I only hope he gets past his past and can see a future.
That's a pretty dark look.

Gotta lock that stuff up in the back closet of your memory and concern yourself with the present and future.

Or maybe get it off your chest and try to make the world a better place.

I can tell you from experience, trauma and battle stress needs to be dealt with.

It took me 6 years to finally live mostly normal.
