I worked for an Army contractor. One of my fellow employees was a female former Army truck driver who had volunteered for hazardous duty in Iraq and gone back four times. (BTW, she was very butch and had a girlfriend. There wasn’t anything remotely feminine about her.) She had severe depression, which she blamed on the Army. According to her she’d been in numerous fire fights when convoys were attacked. Repeatedly, she blamed her psychological state on the Army. After another such explanation, I asked, how many times did you volunteer to go back? And she confirmed four. Yet it was the Army’s fault that she was suicidal. The Army doctors committed her to a mental institution. That was several years ago and I have no idea how she turned out.

It was apparent she thought she could put up with anything any other soldier could handle. But the reality of the situation, which appeared beyond her grasp, was different.

I find homosexuals to be very depressive. They are mentally deviant in many aspects.
