Do Code Reds still happen in Gitmo? There is a major break in the chain of command. I mean, most are compelled of the Code and the Oath, try and remove the core values and...silence. |

I have been deployed to 6 combat zones and each time there are dozens of suicides. Whats worse is the amount of suicides after redeployment back to the States. 9 times out of 10, the suicides are "Wife divorcing Husband".....(Jody got your girl and gone".... While stationed in Bosnia, I had one soldier blow his brains out 4 feet from me. He was arguing with his wife on the phone and then I heard a pause....click, Pow..... While he was in a death wiggle, I got his wife's name and number and told her we would call her back. *Honestly, Mail and Phones calls should be banned in combat Zones.

And interesting read, if you can still find it: remember, Neil Kashkari? What division did he lead in Babylon? Remember, how many were turned into mummies? Indeed, the weapons have changed; to those whom have meet their Creator, the move now of the fight is in the spiritual. So put on the armour of Light: The helm of Salvation, the Sword of the Spirit, the brestplate of righteousness, the buckler of Truth, feet shod with the Gospel of Peace, and the shield of Faith wherewith you will be Able to stop all the firy darts of the evil one. |

Some places are worse than others for that kind of thing. But it does follow you home. Suicide is the single most significant killer of our troops... It affects the entire family - which is fragile enough without any help. Been there - in non-combat times. Deployments were always hell. You're right phone calls should probably not be allowed - I've seen folk go off after them - and letters. It's the expectation. I remember a couple of times when the only thing worse than not getting a letter was getting one. The world is divided into sections and each one has a heirarchy of demonic entities assigned to it. We can see their influence in the type of activity that predominates the area. Every culture prior to ours has recognized this reality and tried to work within that system - for better or worse... But to intrude where you have no clan or cultural affiliation is always a problem. MCB To measure a circle - start anywhere... Charles Fort Total Choas!

I have seen so many "go over the edge" via "Dear John"...letters that is very sad, and i would imagine the fact that wars today never end and there is never any such thing as victory? how depressing it must be to know that we possess the weaponry to wipe out the enemy and instead you are ordered to play nice with the savage? it must be horrible to watch friend after friend die knowing that their deaths were avoidable if only our politcians fought wars to win and end them. it is depressing back home knowing we are sacrificing our future generations and for what?

More Vietnam vets died from suicide after the war than in the war. |
