PTSD, stress will do this to you. Stress before deployment, stress after deployment. Fear of losing life and family. Fear of losing everything. Watching your battle buddies die in front of you in a horrific combat fight, fear, stress anger, building up until you just blow up and release the pressure. Releasing the pressure... That's all you see here.

No one knows this Marines pain except the Marines he serves with, they know. The civilians will never understand this unless they've been to hell.

We are all like the quiet guy in the car, safe, silent and still... not knowing the pains of war.

This is a truly ignorant comment. Most with PTSD don't exhibit this violent, uncontrollable rampaging behavior that somehow became the most associated behaviors of this condition. A close friend of mine served in Desert Storm, has PTSD, and suffers long term effects from exposure to DU weapons. My best friend's father was a war correspondent for 20 years, was embedded in the Balkans, most of the middle east (he can speak Arabic) and parts of South America. He's seen unimaginable things and had atrocious things done to him, and he was just trying to report what was really happening. I have two friends who were also marines and served two tours (one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq) and are pleasant, although competitive and aggressive at times. None of them act like this however, not even in the slightest.

This man is a product of a society that cultivates a cult of masculinity and violence. He is obviously extremely unintelligent, probably has some kind of complex, and quite obviously takes steroids. Stop watching Fox News.
