Frustration, anger or the thought life is over: does any one care? The shootings are increasing because we as a society no longer care. Every one gets angry and frustrated when the persons killed are from their own family or friends. These same angry, frustrated people had no concern when it was the other person that the police, courts or government were ignoring or provoking. The news media no longer tells the unbiased truth. The head lines crucify the defendant as not to anger those with power by revealing the true cause. People are so concerned with self preservation and money that the other persons does not matter. Veterans, homeless or not are cast aside by society as not to increase a budget of already wasteful spending. Veterans become frustrated, and angry.
Suicide is a very close option for Veterans because even as we become less, our goal is to make life better back here. The angry shootings may not be that. They could be a subconscious belief this is the medicine the U.S. needs to wake them up. You send us off to war as children. We survive in subhuman conditions and do things that our conscious tells us is wrong. Months or years later we return to the “world” only to feel alienated or guilty. The police, courts, government and society harass us and cast us aside. Our family and friends believe that we are a burden because of the inconsistent or wrongs that now alienate us. We change jobs or become homeless because we are now a leech on societies perfect life. The inhuman life that we once lived now is the norm. We admire how the children we grew up with are what (while we killed) dreamed of coming home to become. The line “what are we fighting for, next stop is Vietnam” became famous because of a song but I bet every Veteran asked that question while there. If you cared about Veterans you would not let so many returning die in shame, by suicide.
I remind you what the State of New Hampshire is doing to a 100% service connected disabled U.S. Marine and no one cares. Suicide would end the constant thoughts of what I did. I feel no guilt or shame for my actions just that realizing what the U.S. does to returning Veterans makes us giving everything for you worthless. I can not be violent or stop because I can not shame what so many Veterans over the history of the United States of America gave for our Freedom. Is it a crime to stop a disabled Veterans medical to frustrate and anger to provoke suicide? Why has the news media allowed these Veterans to be persecuted?
