That’s why it’s probably good to have a family of his own. I mean I never served but from a german perspective and what I got told about the people who took part in WWII they barely talked about it as well. The difference is that they took refuge having a caring wife and a family they had to feed. The german military task force KSK also just lets married guys into their ranks from what I’ve heard because a partner apparently makes you a bit more mentally stable and you can cope better with the stuff you went through. On the other hand task forces operate behind enemy lines and usually in a stealthy fashion so they don’t get the same kind of brutal action you guys get :(

Greetings brother. I think you should check out this book called "Touching the Dragon" its about a buddy of mine and his own struggles with PTSD. I think it'll help you with nightmares you quite possibly still suffer from. Just remember something that I've learned after 13 years of combat and 19 years removed from my first experience. The nightmares will never truly leave you they'll just change. I wish you well brother. I'm sure you did great things for the UK and this world. I know a couple of lads at SBS and SAS. I'm telling you the book will change your life. Lastly I wanted to say forgiveness can really change everything for not just... but for us all.

@@Nickat86 I appreciate your sentiment. However, don't benchmark what is more or less difficult to go through. That's a slippery slope that can marginalize what people are experiencing. People such as yourself with anxiety. It cheats you out of how it impacts your life. Anxiety, bluntly put, is motherfucker. If we benchmark it to someone else's experiences, then we could always find a way to invalidate what we are going through. Here is my example: talking to a Korean War Vet, and I'm paraphrasing, "We fought until the bullets ran out. Then we fixed bayonets and fought until the blades were dull or broken. Then we fought hand-to-hand until we were dead or to tired to go on. It was then we looked up and saw 100,000 more Chinese coming over the hill." Now, my experience, compared to that, was just a walk in the park.

I’m going to study psychology in university next year, one of my goals have always been to create an effective system in helping war veterans deal with mental health. They fight for their country, but aren’t given the care they deserve when they return and adjust to civilian life. We have to remember that this Chris’s story is just one of the statistic and there are millions of others that share similar stories. The stigma behind PTSD needs to be dealt with, or we risk losing the individuals that fight for our freedom.

I am a RVN vet. You are not alone. I know your pain. Stand with you brother

I’m glad you touched on the shock of going on leave during your deployment. My first tour was in Iraq for 15 months with the 82nd Airborne. I was deployed for 10 months before going on leave for two weeks. Three days before getting on the plane to head to BIAP, my platoon lost two during a raid in Sadr City. I was told that I had to take leave. I would rather have stayed in Iraq then to go back and forth from California back to Iraq. Going from watching your platoon medic do everything he can to try and save two of our own to eventually losing them, then to be back in California around my family when I hadn’t processed any of it up to that point was hard to handle. I tried to kill myself when I returned from leave about two months after I got back to our JSS. I took my SAW when I was on shit burning detail by myself and stuck the barrel in my mouth. Our status was always amber at the JSS so when I went to fire the SAW into my mouth, the bolt was in the forward position and did not fire. I broke down that evening on all fours next to the pit where we burned our waste. I’ve never shared that story until now. That was in 2008. I finished two more deployments after that, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. I guess I wanted the enemy to kill me.

God bless you, Chris. Keep leaning forward.

Back when I went to college I was in a surfing class and it was a rainy day so we went around and told something about ourselves. One of the guys was up and the professor asked why he joined the surf class, and he said it’s to take his mind off his ptsd he had gotten after seeing all of his buddies get shot down in a helicopter. He must’ve only been 28-30. I really hope he’s doing alright and I hope everyone who suffers from ptsd can find a way to cope. God bless our troops stay strong

Great interview and love the Honesty. Always surprises me how so many veterans retired or not are affected by their choices. As a former Marine who’s deployed multiple times I tell retired or not that we chose to enlist we chose to stay 8 or 20 years we accepted our jobs. It’s not easy for veterans but veteran groups should take trips to ghettos where kids live horrific upbringings but had no choice or escape. Again someone who grew up in Newark NJ projects during the crack epidemic. To say you can’t compare is trying to blow smoke up our own ass. Suffering is suffering especially when your born in misery.

These are the kind of people who we all look up to, these men have given everything to our country. Respect a lot of respect for all of our vets.

Mad respect to this guy and other vets!

My father tried to kill my mother and I when I was 14. I still see it every day, and I'm 39 nearing 40. While we may always see these things, reminding ourselves that it's over and done helps. If you need to talk, just send a message. I know it's not veteran PTSD but it's good to talk it out.

Marine Veteran, not a former Marine. Semper Fi.

Thank you for your service and the best to your health.

Thank u 4 your service God Bless U,keep fighting

my love is going recon, i pray that he is protected and guided through all of it. so glad you're still here to tell your story brother.

My younger brother is a sniper in the Marines. I couldn’t be more proud of him and I’m glad he’s doing something he loves, but selfishly of me, sometimes I wish he’d do something else. I worry all the time that I might not see him again, and if I do, he’ll come back and won’t be all right in the head.

vols deep The greatest thing you will do for your brother is to “listen to him.” Don’t give advice. Don’t direct him to an agency. And don’t ask what his kill rate was. Just listen to him. Years from now he will tell you how thankful he is because it was all he wanted. Just listen.

God bless you Chris, and your fellow warriors. Thank you for fighting for my freedom, and the rest of the United States. Love you brother 💙

Thank you Chris for your service sir. Keep up the good work with the PTSD program. God Bless you.

Sir, you have my condolences for the friends you lost and my respect for the ability to keep pushing forward. I wish i could just hug you and tell you that everything will be alright. If you ever need someone to talk to, you got a lot of people who would be more than willing to hear you out including me. Doesn't matter what war anyone fought in or how old they are when they join up. I will always have a listening ear for the ones that once fought battles they never should've had to. God bless every veteran that may see this comment and god bless america.

very heart felt video im not comparing in any way but ptsd is a very real thing i lost my dog of 9 yrs my best friend my uncle and my mothers boyfriend went crazy and aftrer 1 yr and i had to remove him from the house in a rage, all these things happend within a month for me and its been 1 and a half years as of now and i only feel recovered now it was climbing out of hell 1 inch at a time many times i didnt see the point anymore i had noone to talk to i pushed everyone way drank never talked in work my personality was gone id have nightmares bouts of self inflicted rage, i think ptsd can happen to anyone veterens and civillians alike and needs more awareness. thank you sir for your honest heart felt story.

Former 0321here, I remember when I got off the plane, saw my family and thought “ they have no idea “ …. It’s all good. If it don’t kill ya, it makes you stronger.

Unfortunately, that number is way off. As only 21 states report such a thing. However, it's the closest to an actual number, as it's all we know.

God bless you all that are doing this work.

Thank you all for your service.
