Dan Wilden replied to Buzz Fledderjohn's discussion Open Call for Veterans to Assist in Protecting Amercians' Free Assembly Rights in the group The Armed ForcesDan Wilden replied to Mike's discussion Knowledge Needed in the group The Armed Forces"I don't mean to call the kid out. But it is unlikely. The two branches are actually separate. By that I mean if you are an active duty guy, its active duty and if you are reservist then you are a reservist. You can not bounce between the…"
Slacker replied to Dan Wilden's discussion Life after combat in the group The Armed Forces"I have never been in combat, but I am an Air Force vet, and come from a long line of vets all the way back to the Revolutionary War.
I'd be happy to help you with the site if you need help.

Jankenstein replied to Dan Wilden's discussion Life after combat in the group The Armed Forces""I am crazy hyper vigilant, over-aggressive, and very angry."
This. From my own observations this is really what PTSD is. It's the inability to "unwind" after living for a year in a combat zone. A lot of guys use alcohol as…"
Dan Wilden replied to Dan Wilden's discussion Life after combat in the group The Armed Forces"Thanks george,
I have read on killing by LTC Grossman. Not a bad piece of literature, but it misses the point. Your USMC FM also ain't gonna help. I am sure that you being a devil dog will come to know what I am about to say be true. Killing…"
george t. hakim replied to Dan Wilden's discussion Life after combat in the group The Armed Forces"i am a future devil dog and i like doing research one time i was doing a research on PTSD AKA shell shock and i discoverd two great books on the subject read them they might come in handy (On Killing) and (US Marine Corps - Combat Stress MCRP 6-11C)…"

Life after combat
A former soldier of mine killed himself a couple of months back. Lost a battle between PTSD and a hand gun. Since then, I have been trying to create a site where vets who made it back from down-range and learned to cope and share their knowledge so that others may benefit and so no vet gets left behind. So I send out the call to you gents who are serving now, share what you have learned about dealing with PTSD and life after combat so that others may benefit and survive.My humble little site is…See More
Dan Wilden replied to Brett McKay's discussion Who Are Some Unmanly Men?"I hate to drop this, but isn't this whole exercise a bit unmanly? If they are unmanly, then we as those presumed to be manly should dismiss them and forget that they even exist. Also its a bit on the unmanly side to get all catty about who is a…"
Dan Wilden replied to Shaun Daws's discussion Fix This # 1 in the group Philosophers"Sadly I agree,
I did 5 years active duty which finished up about a 2 months ago. I loved it but there were many who hated and they just made the job more dangerous and difficult. Conscription into the military may not be the answer. However, A…"
Dan Wilden replied to Shaun Daws's discussion Question of the day #28 in the group Philosophers"thats not new..... dehumanization and demonification have been part of the psychology of war since its outset. By making the enemy less like yourself it is easier to live with the horrors of war."

"It don't think it was meant to add to the discussion, if by that you mean offer an argument. It's just a bible quote Herb likes. I think it's a good one too."
Davis replied to Chuck Barnett's discussion Missing my best friend in the group Remembering Dad"Chuck, please except my condolences at the loss of your Dad. This is tough and I'm glad you included us in your profound grief. Today, my son-in-law's family is commemorating with a family gathering the first anniversary of the passing of…"
Remembering Dad
This is a group for men who have lost their fathers. It is a place to mourn, celebrate, and remember our fathers and a place for men to share experiences and draw strength from one another.See More

Chuck Barnett added a discussion to the group Remembering DadMissing my best friend
My father passed away on Memorial Day this year. The entire family was at his house for one of his traditional cookouts by the pool. There was always plenty of food, drinks, laughter, and memories at his cookouts. This day was no different with one major exception, dad wasn't feeling that well and didn't even get out of bed until mid morning. As I am the oldest son, I was always the one groomed to step up and take over if dad was ever unavailable (which was rare). I got to their house…See More
