re: Question for Iraq/Afghanistan vets and friends of same: (possible trigger alert)

I see a counselor once a month at the VA. I was back home and out the military for 5 years, before I got help. I was a raging alcoholic with a short fuse, and my wife told me if I didn't get help she was going to leave me.

Seeing and hearing someone being burned alive is something that stays with u forever. For me I think the worse part was just the anxiety or anticipation right before some shite pooped off. Once the shite hit the fan my training kicked in for the most part.
