What did he do in the Navy to get PTSD?
It doesn’t say.
Boatswain’s Mate .
Yes, before commenting I would love to know more. Did he serve in any way with boots on the ground otherwise his story just doesn’t ring true.
Looks like boots on the ground to me. Age is about right, too.
Apologis for the long link.
I hate to say it, but this is what happens when a generation of people who got participation trophies and regular boosts of self-esteem for no reason go to war.
Is this him?
Hammer hits nail.
Far as I can tell. 4 different sources link the same photo to his story.
Not going to hand on heart confirm it to you, and someone better with the research might want to take over from here, but that’s what I managed to dig up.
If photo is, in fact, him, then he has an argument. If not, he will just have to suck it up and move on. Many of us who served in VN (and many who serve in Korea) learned to live with it and most gradually worked their way out of it and moved on with our lives.
A whole generation did this after WWII.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
I’m so sorry Mr. Geoghagen, US vet.
But we don’t have funds left for you after we feed all of the poor children pouring over the border.
Bullshiite! There isn’t anything in the article that would even come close to supporting your ignorant theory. Some days this site really pisses me off. F@%#g keyboard warriors need to shut their damn pieholes!
Active Duty/ V A ping.
pro life ping
He could have been a Corpsman in a Marine Corps rifle company.
Terri’s list ping?
Or a SEABEE, or a SEAL, Special Warfare Boat Operator or EOD.
Exactly! There are many sailors who get down in the mud. Even the ones who spend their careers on a ship deserve our damn respect. Anyone who has the balls to put the uniform on deserves our respect. I’m very disappointed with some of the comments on this thread. I expect this crap from the clowns on DU, not the people here.
