God damn. I read his book last year and it was the best book I've ever read. I felt like I knew the guy personally and now I feel like I've lost a good friend. Damn shame. He was a complete badass. Total buzz kill for a Saturday night :(
All of this. His book read like your best friend was telling you his war stories. I'm so sad to hear this happened to an American hero.

Yea this has nothing to do with guns and more so to do with how the soldiers mindset is once they get back.

If you count military suicides then it's higher then ever before. I'm not sure about homicides in which the killer was diagnosed with PTSD.

I fear it's going to get worse before it gets better...Personally i don't think enough can be done to help people with PTSD from our wars...

Here's a video about him LINK
