"It's not my fault the guy couldn't handle 4 tours of duty".


This sick fucking piece of shit needs to have his fucking rank pulled right fucking now.

Why is it that "support the troops" in this country means put a flag bumper sticker on your car, and not actually "SUPPORT THE TROOPS".

Gee, maybe if there wasn't a 120 day waiting period for a soldier with PTSD to see a shrink there would be less suicides. Gee, maybe if instead of throwing away used soldiers, they were treated like human beings and given the best medical and mental help there is we might have lees suicides. Gee, maybe if we spent a little less arming these guys and a little more helping them deal with what they had to do there would be less suicides.

Gee maybe if the families of soldiers on their 4th tour weren't in danger of losing their mortgage or having to live on fucking food stamps there might be less suicides.

Fuck this guy and his army.
