U.S. Army ([twitter.com profile] USArmy), 2019-05-23: "How has serving impacted you?"

ok boomundolack ([twitter.com profile] Bemundolack), 2019-05-25:

Someone I loved joined right out of high school even though I begged him not to. Few months after his deployment ended, we reconnected. One night, he told me he loved me and then shot himself in the head.

If you're gonna prey on kids for imperialism, at least treat their PTSD

[The whole thread of replies to that Army tweet is pretty much like this.]

I hope, though doubt, that someone at the US Army is reading these replies. I read another memorable reply recently by a servicemember, discharged dishonorably under DADT, who is still on the hook for repaying the college scholarship the military gave him.

I have had more than one argument with people about how conservatives have claimed the mantle of "supporting the troops" while condemning PTSD as 'weakness' and chipping away at VA medical resources.
