This just shows you that no one wins in war

This was an amazing episode. What veterans go through is so much more than most of us can grasp. Those veteran hot line folks are Angel's. I pray this country and all countries never go to war again.

Yes, I’ve had it for more than fifty years. VA offered me 100% disability forty four years ago, I didn’t take it. PTSD has never been treated.

OK, I will say it, as a military family member. Please vote for a leader, not someone leading us into another war.

@@Ron-Usmc-Vietnam Ron I hope you see this: Oh sweetie, I am so very sorry. Not to freak you out, BUT... I came upon my Grandfathers military records about a year ago, Get this...He had his mother's blessing, during WW ONE! he faked his age, he was 16 and she signed off on it. I cannot imagine, as I have a young"er" son. I can't imagine how horrible life must have been then to do such a thing. So, I have been working on genealogy records for my own grandchildren. So much is lost when we pass. I knew my beloved grandfather's military story, "kinda". I finally found his "discharge" notice. It read "SHELL SHOCK". I am still trying to discover where they sent a 16 year old boy to fight. Like many, he never spoke of it. Oddly, my own father had the most vivid recollection of war being declared, WWII. By then (grandfather) was in his 40's and had to explain to my father, as he was shaving, and as lil boy's often watch that ritual, and the radio said war had been declared... ( my dad was a rather late in life surprise baby) that even at his age, it is bad, and he may have to enlist, and he would be there to do it, if need be. I can safely say, no one knew of his "shell shock" as a teen boy in WWII. I am now his only Grandchild, a granddaughter. I have served (long ago) as a first responder. Finding his papers listing "shell shock" has given me an energy to do SOMETHING, anything, I don't care how big or small. I am on a mission now, to honor my family. One family member has served in every war since the revolution. I'm not sure where I will find myself to give, but please know, in your heart and my grandad's, your soul had a special place along ours. If you, or anyone else has ideas for the perfect volunteer idea, please remember my grandad and let me know where he might have thought I should serve. He was an awesome guy! And a true comic. We miss him! Get this,,,he was born in 1898! Top that one! LOL

Yes trump was the one who brought them all home, he’s the only president that stopped wars rather than make them, even though main stream media paint him out to be the bad guy.

It is amazing to see a native descendant help heal others after all the harm our country has done to their ancestors. I think our native brothers and sisters are the answer to all of our modern ills like climate change.

For me this is one of the best shows you have put out, as a combat veteran I feel for Peter, a combat medic is arguably one of the most selfless and difficult jobs in the military, your brain can never erase most things. I wish him all the luck and respect and love❤

Such an amazing episode. I worked with so many veterans working corrections and as it turns out, we all suffered working in corrections and developed PTSD as a result. Thank you for bringing light to our darkness.

My husband and i went to a retreat modeled after Angel Fire, called Veterans freedom retreat. The whole retreat is such a healing process. And as a wife (15 years of which he was active duty, multiple combat deployments), the purple heart ceremony was so healing to MY soul

We should still call PTSD, shell shock.

@indybobthis 3 ай бұрын

As a father of a soldier with PTSD. I've seen first hand many times his suffering. Numerous trips to the VA. All the is done is trying to force drugs on them. There is no one who ever wants to talk. Therapists would rather just hang out drugs.

@catlovely5438 24 күн бұрын

While some may still see it as drugs I strongly recommend 5 meo dmt otherwise known as the toad ceremony. It is a short lived, deeply profound and spiritual experience, with amazing results for PTSD sufferers. There is plenty of information online that I urge you to read up on. I truly hope in my heart, your son can find peace in this way or another. Kind regards Cat Lovely Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Time Stamp 9:23, yes Peter is wearing Marine Corps Charlies, but you can clearly see Navy E3 rank insignia on his left sleeve. Time stamp 9:35, you can clearly see US Navy on Peter's uniform, and the Hospital Corps collar device. At time stamp 10,:10, Lisa says Peter was a former Marine. At time stamp 11:44, you can see a picture of Peter in his Navy Dress Blues. All of this means that Peter was not a Marine, he was a US Navy Corpsman who was stationed with Marines. The reason he wore Marine Corps Charlies is because he went Marine Corps Regs.
