So glad I resigned my commission decades ago.

A young enlisted man was badly injured in Afghanistan and now suffers with long term disability and PTSD. He went to Veterans Affairs for help and was offered medically assisted suicide. He is not suicidal. He has issues that are the direct result of his service to his country. Some gratitude VA showed him.

I have PTSD( not from being in the service)
Nonetheless it sucks ……
What is his name?
Stupid? Already looked it up. No mention of Afghanistan. You got it wrong. Again. Post the link or shut up. @hippyjoe1955

@stratosranger Oh so you found the article. Amazing. You are right Global did not mention Afghanistan. Not that the theater he fought in is important in comparison to some government flunky telling the vet to off himself. Do try to keep things in perspective.

@stratosranger BTW in another article by Global you can find this little gem
Although post-traumatic stress and other mental health impacts have always been a side effect of military service, traumatic brain injuries have been called a “signature injury” for veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts due to the high number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used, including roadside bombs.

Skuttlebut on the street among the vets has it that the injury occured in Afghanistan. So that kind of makes you a three time loser. Demanding a name that was not given, Denying the media report until you found it and now the connection to Afghanistan. Sadly it would seem the only one being dishonest on this thread was you. Kind of sad that you would want to play 'gotcha' over a vet's suffering but it is kind of funny that only you were got. Next time grab a clue. I don't post lies.
