Kill, Disabled, Suicide--words not used 11-23-08

John Harrigan’s article on “VS Kill” and the letters in the editor section of the many newspapers that I read each morning amazed me. I have been advised by many newspapers not to use this word in my letters. The state police came to my home to tell me not to use this word. To top it off the Secret Service flew in from DC to tell me not to use this word. John hit it on the nose society is to sensitive. These are words that scare people but unless we talk about them and the cause to use them we are no better off than those “animal’s” we use them on.
I was further amazed at the letters on Respect and help “disabled”. We live in a sensitive society where “do good-ers” claim that we must do the right thing. It is like the 60’s when we advised our children instead of correcting and disciplining them. We as a free society can not seem to understand why a child would pull the cane from a disabled person. Why a non-handicapped person (the correct term) would take the parking space of a disabled person. These are the children of the 60’s. Children whom can not relate discipline to their child because they were not. Hillsborough county reaching out to senior disabled. I am amazed because of what the people of the state and the newspapers have allowed to be done to a 100% disabled veteran that volunteers every day since he came back in 74 to help others across the state of NH.
We have the American’s with disabilities act to protect disabled persons. My medical for combat related disabilities was stopped yet no one care. NH put me in jail as a terrorist. I lost my freedom for 6 months before the bogus charges were dropped. The editors censor my opinion letters. The person in charge of the VA in NH told me to commit suicide. Judge Peter Fauver uses the local sheriff to arrest me for harassment to stop my letters. A NH U.S. Rep uses my combat related medical conditions as a weapon for to stop my letter about her. She files false police reports to get me arrested and no one will do any thing to stop it. I came back to a society that can not accept the disabled.
Suicide and helping the disabled seniors can not be done until society tries to under stand. We must understand the words “Kill, disabled, suicide” and how they relate to the individual before we can help. As a Marine Sgt I counseled men under me why killing themselves was wrong. Then I would put them in a position where their live would be taken. This does not make since. I now identify with why these men would do the ultimate act. Society does not want to understand. I came back 100% disabled to a society that I do not belong. I have come with in seconds of killing my self many times. One of my injuries is a short term memory (TBI) so it something interrupts the act; I forget and go on to something else. I have lived silently for over 30 years taking daily trips back to an uncivilized time in my life. The state of New Hampshire has labeled me a “Danger to society” so my opinion is censored by the editors. I volunteer every day to help others because my dream of living long enough to see the U.S. once before I gave my life for her came true. This is one dream that I wish never happen. Society does not want to understand about returning Veterans. Society does not want to understand Suicide, disabled, Kill. It is like the un-said meaning that I got from John Harrigan’s article about the Weasel-word Avoidance of the year award. May be the editors across the U.S. should get it?
