Dr. Bill Speaks the Truth

I was shocked to say the least. I was shocked by my realization about the truth behind war and what war does to people. Dr. Bill told us exactly what we needed to hear about war. The war itself does not kill the individual, but the impact after the war kills the individual. It's called shell-shock. The explosions, the gunfire, the screaming, the blood and gore, and the plethora of dead people, enemy or not, really impacts you as a person to the point you cannot recover. This leads to terrible consequences such as suicide. This is what Dr. Bill is stressing this Remembrance Day. I agree with him 100 percent. Afterward, he states that the government tries so hard to send their troops to serve and protect their country, but when they come back, the government does not show the consideration to welcome them back home with healthcare and financial backup, just because they consider the troops to have suffered from mental illness. This just angers me. It isn't fair for the troops at all. The government clearly does not understand what these soldiers have gone through and that they deserve all the financial compensation they can because they did the government a favour that was a life or death mission. The government needs to show a little appreciation and gratitude. Instead, they abandon them to fend for themselves because they suffer from mental illnesses. I hope this changes in the future, for the better. I end of with these last words to thank the soldiers. Freedom isn't free, but with our soldiers, our freedom is possible, and I thank those that took part in this war from the bottom of my heart. Lest we forget.

  1. I wonder... how do you reconcile the above information with the fact that you enjoy first person shoot warfare as recreation? Is this a conflict of values? Hmmm
    A couple technical issues;
    - shock by my realization, not to my
    - about the truth about, avoid redundant wording
