aw that picture makes me cry.

That is seriously one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

That is so sad. With an 18 month old and an ex husband determined to be a soldier I am so afraid that one day I will have a picture of my own to match that one.

Hello
This is really very sad and I had tears in my eyes when I read this.Soldiers are real hero who protect our lives.Really thank you for sharing this emotional photo with us.You have done a good job.

@a12906@xanga - What information are you talking about? What military people are "so dangerous"?

Yes, there are cases of men and women with PTSD who commit suicide or hurt others...but there are civilians who get PTSD from car wrecks or anything "traumatic" that can happen to you. It's not just military and JUST BECAUSE someone is military doesn't mean they are more likely to suffer from PTSD. It can happen to anyone who has experienced/witnessed some form of trauma. Women who have particularly traumatic birth experiences have been diagnosed with PTSD. Does that mean women who have had children are dangerous to anyone. And the thing with PTSD -- it doesn't MEAN you are dangerous. It stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disoder and it can manifest itself in different ways, the majority of cases are people who are NOT a danger to themselves or anyone else.

My husband has been deployed, my brother has been deployed, my dad was in the military, so was my grandfather and two of my uncles. None of them are a danger to anyone, except terrorists during deployments. The majority of people I spend my time with are military because of my husband's job and we live in a town with three huge military bases (two are Air Force and one is Army.) Being on base is the place where I feel safest and it's NOTHING but military.

I'd love to see this information you are talking about saying that people with military experience are so dangerous to anyone.

This picture definitely made me tear up. My husband is active duty with the US Army and we have an 18 month old daughter. He's getting ready to return from a 12 month tour in Iraq in about a month, but I'm all ready terrified he'll be leaving again. I know how attach our daughter will be to him by the time he has to leave again, so that makes it even harder to see this picture. I hate seeing things like this, because I know it's always possible in my life.
I hope he makes it back safe and sound!

@a12906@xanga - You're obviously fucking retarded. Military personnel aren't more dangerous than anyone else. Would you say that shit about a surgeon, who could precisely and purposely puncture a vital artery and kill you being able to say it was an accident?  What about a police officer, who could at any given time accidentally shot an innocent bystander in a drug bust? What about people who hunt with guns, bows, etc. I guess they're all not supposed to have children either and no one should be left around them. I guess all the lives their all protecting and saving doesn't mean shit. Fucking moron.

This has to be the saddest thing in the world:(

Aww man.

@XxFireXboltxX@xanga - I'm talking about information I spent hours, literally hours, pouring over. Just type it into a search engine. All military people, that's what military people. PTSD is not the only thing. They're only able to go out their and do what they do because they've been dehumanized. Military personell aren't more likely to suffer from PTSD? That's interesting.
