”It’s amazing how you feel when you are pointed in a positive direction…” I took advantage of a career opportunity that takes Vets and puts them in failing organizations to turn them around. I went through limited training and was basically given the keys to the store. I’ve made the store profitable but there’s this looming feeling that the bottom is going to eventually fall out from underneath me. My daily anxiety is getting so bad sometimes I feel like giving up just to get it over with. This video reminded me of how important it is to have a positive mental attitude and that I have been blessed with such a wonderful, once and a lifetime opportunity. I need to stay “pointed in a positive direction”.

The organization I work for is a 6B dollar company and their is 650+ locations across the US. Long story short, I did some interviews and took a very sophisticated personality test and they hired me. The catch is, they give you a store that is not profitable and I was certainly going to have to relocate anywhere in the US. Here's the good part, my individual location has a stock value and I can own up to 30% of it. The majority of people succeed and become VERY wealthy but there's that nagging thought in my head " What if I'm not good enough?"

The fact that he didn't feel like he did enough because he didn't finish his deployment out,is just heart breaking. With that one injury,he did more than someone with multiple deployments under their belt who physically escaped unscathed.

@@Marius_vanderLubbe I mean, the entirety of the middle east has been a shit show forever. Not just from foreign affairs, but moreso down to being highly corrupt and awfully run. Afghanistan was never able to fully govern itself, especially with the entirety of the male populace preferring to being underneath a regime better suited to field their views. Women never get a look in. They gave people there those most potential freedom possible, before it inevitably went to shit. I find it nuts how the Taliban have the power they do. They are a poorly run group of sheep herders, yet, somehow managed to take over an entire nation with little/no resistance and many of the men trained to stop that, just defeated anyway as, bar my prior point, they would rather be under a regime that protects their false views to people, women and rules. Why would you want a westernized freedom of liberation when you're being promised exponential power, control and a pick of whatever women you like.

When you’re not it’s easy to get in your head a begin to spiral. My forearm looks just like yours, other places best left unsaid look worse. It took almost a decade to really come to terms with what happened. I wish you all the peace that can be had, if I could take your pain I would do so in a heartbeat.

Thank you for your service. Most people will look at you as a hero, even if you don't think so yourself. I'm sure your grandfather would have been proud of you. Thank you also for sharing your story. People need to hear these stories so they can understand the true cost of war.

I feel for this man and admire his courage but I honestly doubt the US military actions in the Middle-East kept people safe or free back in the US. Afghanistan now is back in Taliban's hands unfortunately and the Middle-East is a mess. It's not the fault of people that served to protect their countries and bring democracy, so I don't mean this in a disrespectful way to veterans, I just don't think these wars made US safer, or stopped Islamic terrorism, even if soldiers did their best under horrible circumstances. I look at the world today, specifically the Middle-East, and the region appears way more unstable than it was back in 2001 when the war against terrorism started. As US left Afghanistan capitulating under the Talibans I felt disgusted, and can only imagine how veterans must have felt. I am afraid Islamic terrorism is not defeated (the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan possibly fuelled further hate and instability), and violence and threats abound, more so than 20 years ago.
