As a service connected operation Iraqi freedom veteran (OIF), I can say that EVERYTHING this dude talks about is spot in. The damage we did over there didn’t hit me until I had my first child in 2013, then my mental health further declined after having my son 4 years ago. And for what? Absolutely nothing. This is the shit we have to live with day in and day out. They say “hate the war, not the warrior” but most days I can’t even look at myself in the mirror. I thought I got out of Iraq after my 2nd deployment unscathed, but I am dying on the inside slowly. I absolutely loathed the VA because 99.99% of the people who work there are absolutely oblivious to what we went through, and their only remedy is psychiatric medication which has done more damage to me then anything. The Va has further gone downhill since “covid” because most of the therapy services provided now are all telehealth, so we can’t even have human contact with one another. God bless this dude. He sat there and told most of our stories in 45 minutes

Ross, my husband is a Viet Nam Vet, you do live day to day after being in war. He once told me the military trains you to hate the people you are fighting because that is the only way you can kill. That alone says volumes. He also told me about the time his fellow soldier had his foot blown off next to him, and his first thought was "that lucky guy gets to go home". I cannot even imagine what you remember and how those memories effect your life. Can I say God Bless you and Thank you for sharing your truth because that is the only way we can understand the PTSD you live with.

I was 82nd Airborne, 11B. Afghanistan 05', Iraq 06', Iraq 07'. When he says that it stays with you everyday he is 100% right. The amazing part is how much your results may vary. Just because a combat vet seems like they are fine on the outside, make no mistake they are dealing with it in some way. Some are addicted to drugs. Some are angry all the time. Some seem fine but they wake up with nightmares . Some of us seek the adrenaline rush and feel empty without it. There are images burned into our brains that will never leave. The image of a human body burned to a crisp. The body stuck in the position they sat in when the EMP hit, frozen in time. Driving down the street past the scene of an IED and seeing body parts on the pavement and at the time acting as if it was just another day. No different than us seeing a dead squirrel on a country road. The images of blood soaked floors of a house you just shot up and slipping on the blood. I can recall the smell of blood on demand. The smell of an Iraqi detainee after we held them captive for 48 hours in a 100 degree room. The smell of fresh Falafel. The smell of a burn pit. And the smell of diesel. Every time I smell a diesel truck I am brought back to Iraq and loading into the hum-vee before a patrol or raid. I'll never forget feeling invincible even though there was death all around me. I feel so blessed to be what most people would see as "normal". Good career, good marriage, 3 healthy kids. Why am I so lucky? The only good thing to come out of war is it granted millions of vets the knowledge and experience to know that war is hell and should not exist. I was about to delete all of this but decided to just hit enter. Mark, thank you for doing this. Keep up the Vet interviews. Watching these vets talk about this stuff helps me.

Yep. People think that tradition and culture and religion and politics justify unimaginable violence. Unthinkable horrors. Stop watching the news, and you quickly realise that most of our narratives are just a kind of "industry" that perpetuate the divides between us for the benefit of a handful of powerful people who don't give a shit about you and the people you love. I lost a friend to military service and his family were genuinely proud, mostly because of ideas they got from watching the news. They actually encouraged him to fight a war they barely understood themselves. If there is a hell, it's made for people like that.

I'm a veteran myself, serving both as an enlisted soldier and as an officer in the Field Artillery, but all during peace time, never deployed. Many years later I'm a senior level manger with many employees. One of my employees, also with multiple deployments as a Field Artillery soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a very intelligent and valuable team member, has struggles that I can only describe as emotional. I have not pried to find out the details, I've offered my support, a willing ear, employee assistance services, that I can think of. His normal response is something along the lines of, "Ill be OK, you wouldn't understand it anyway." I agree, I probably wouldn't understand it, or what he's going thru. Listening to Hutch on this interview, I think I'm starting to understand a bit better. Thank you Hutch for sharing.

This video gave me some insight as to what my husband really felt. Especially, the part about “not finding deep meaning in anything.” That was one of things that he really hated. He struggled and struggled, even going through electroshock therapy after coming home and doing four tours over 12 years as an infantryman. He felt sick over the atrocities he committed and was ashamed to tell people he was a soldier. He knew what he was doing (even though he for those pats on the back too) wasn’t right. He didn’t make it. He spiraled downward until he was gone. You remind me of him, you tell a great story and lay far yourself loudly. Love it!

And what was achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan, Syria and even Vietnam (plus Laos and Cambodia), during and by the American occupations? Absolutely nothing. Grief what about US military aggressions in Korea, Somalia, Yemen, Haiti, Panama, Grenada a long long list ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States It was a very powerful and sincerely honest talk, for sure, one of the best ever on the channel.

You bet. Poor people? Your rhetoric weakens a country. Although there is no such thing as holy war, wars are necessary evil, just like competition is necessary evil. The presence of American military in the overseas stabilizes the world. You have NO idea how evil communism is. My parents are from China. They told me that in China if one speaks against the government, they don’t just kill him, they harvest his organs while he is alive and sell them to the international market. The Chinese communist government has killed over 80 millions of its own people, and it intends to expand to the entire Asia, and then to the entire world since 1949. You don’t hear this in the news. You are like a little kid complaining about the hamburger is not warm enough while millions of people in the world survive on $2 a day and their politicians suck up billions of dollars. Oh, it is so cheap to hide behind a strong nation and enjoy freedom without paying prices. Freedom is not free. You have NO idea how rich this country is in terms of material wealth, freedom, institution, ideology and so on. I do agree that we should not have fought some wars, especially the Second Iraq War, it was a big lie promoted by the Neoconns.

About Vets, I don’t have any negative things to say about them. I used to work in defense industry and personally know many military officers and enlisters. Some of them are from wealthy and prominent families, some of them graduated from Ivy league schools. They could have gone to Silicon Valley and Wallstreet to “grab money” but they choose to serve the country. They received half of my salary doing the same job, engineering.

This hit hard. My dad was POW in the Vietnam War. I remember my dad going through PTSD. He didn't see us. When he drank, he didn't hear us. When he was sober, we didn't hear or see him. He tried getting help at the VA, but no one would help him. He was in and out of the VA hospital but never treated it. He ended up getting murdered. The guys who did it basically killed a dead man. Everything this man, I see my dad. Our country really abandons our soldiers, and that cycle does trickle down into families. I am happy that he shared his story and put his son first. I also think it is wonderful that he is sober! That is strength. This is meaning.

I am almost speechless. First I want to say.... I think you're an amazing, insightful, empathetic, beautiful human being. I wish I could just hug the memories away. I want to say thank you.... But for sharing your story. I won't thank you for the service...but I will say I love you for your sacrifice and willingness to share your experience with us....and I respect the choices you've made along your journey. Your desire to have a better future than the environment you came from is impressive. Your desire to express yourself and not repeat the same patterns of your upbringing is so respectable. I'm so very happy for you that your son came to you and gave you the courage and purpose to keep fighting.... But this time for your own freedom and security. Acknowledging the pain and shifting to be the best parent you can be for your son...is the most beautiful thing. It shows your heart and character. I'm a Marine MOM. The constant rollercoaster of emotions I feel with my first born volunteering to serve is unreal. I'm scared, impressed, sad, proud, hopeful, fearful, prideful, amazed. The range of feelings I have for the military, government, war, the people involved can be overwhelming as a mom. I'm the proudest Anti-war Marine MOM you'll meet. A constant internal battle of emotions. War is Racket. Sometimes it's necessary. And maintaining world peace is also important for the progress of the species. We are all part of that. The cycle... Is progress. If we step back and look at human progress.... We are part of that. Your journey is meaningful. You have offered yourself in service... both in and out of the army. I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you. I wish I could hug you. You deserve so much love and peace. Thank you for telling your story. Much love to you and yours good sir. You're a perfect example of a person that was born to break generational curses. A fire fighter. 🔥 "FAMILY DYSFUNCTION ROLLS DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, LIKE A FIRE IN THE WOODS, TAKING DOWN EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH UNTIL ONE PERSON IN ONE GENERATION HAS THE COURAGE TO TURN AND FACE THE FLAMES.

I love how he was like “helping people is the only thing that brings meaning to my life” and then he says he has no idea or doesn’t know how he would do that. Meanwhile he was just talking about how to help other war vets/what to talk about/sharing experiences etc. Often the answer is right under our nose:) I hope that’s what he is doing now!! Xoxo

Well articulated and spot on. We did the same mission; convoy security on MSR Tampa, Route Irish, Route Bronze and MSR Mobile in Al Anbar. Brutal days in 2005. This was tough to listen to because it brought forth so many memories from my past...but I couldn't stop listening. I felt I owed it to him to hear his story all the way through. I am praying for his peace and his struggle in this life.

This one hit me hard. As an '05 and '07 Iraq war veteran, every single thing Hutch said and every point he made stuck a chord with me. I was brought to tears several times. His reflection, insight, poise, and articulation were all stunning. I wish I could meet this man in person. We would surely have a lot to talk about.

It's wild hearing you describe yourself being 'just a photographer' when you see breakthroughs people have during your interviews. You see things through many lenses and only a few of those are within your camera. You made something click with why he couldn't keep a job for an extended period. I hope the perspective you lended him helps him down his path in life. You're both men with tremendous amounts of heart.

As a fellow vet, this made me tear up. I can completely understand what he means. PTSD is not a joke. I always tell people that i had a "latency period" after I got out. Everything was fine, I was getting ready for school and getting ready to make something of myself. Then out of nowhere, it hit me. All that trauma I experienced took shape in the form of PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc. It took me a long time to admit that I was messed up. I always say I am fucked up to people that won't be able to understand me. I also abused alcohol so that I could cope with my trauma. All it did was make me feel good mentally, but externally, people could tell that I was struggling. For most of us vets, we just want acceptance and compassion from those who are close to us. It is not about understanding us, it is about showing us that you care and being there when we may need someone to talk to.

This gives me chills. I've heard so many descriptions of war, but when he said how a a guy can go from being a young man one minute into a monster and then back into a young man just as quick... that really got me. Hutch is the type of person war comes down to: good people with good hearts that get sucked into the vortex of violence and forced to perpetuate it. I know it's more complicated than that, but this is what we don't see underneath it all.

I agree- how could we know if we are not physically involved in it? It (war) is heartless and evil- the men who plan and wage wars do not go to see or fight in those same wars' -to sacrifice our young strong valuable men and women to destroy whole countries of men women and children-to take territory! Power, wealth . How could any good person survive that without pain- nightmares, bad nerves and p.ts.d. We need to more for our vets- much more.

The points this man makes about the social order, about government as gangsters is so insightful, simple and right. If we continue to allow narcissists, sociopaths, and even psychopaths to design the systems of civilisation and then control and operate those systems we will all continue to suffer the increasing horrors of living within a psychopathic society. I'm really grateful that this man shared his story.

Pure honesty and realism in what war does to the psyche of young men. Unless you have been, done, seen and gone through the terrors of war, you will only understand .01% the feeling, emotions or self judgement vets walk with everyday.

I never talk about it…it’s the only time a perfect stranger acts like they care but they can’t mask their morbid curiosity about wanting to say they know someone who killed. It always amazes me how people feel and think they can ask “did you kill someone?” I no longer answer that question as it is no one’s business unless you are a vet yourself. That’s for us unless we share it unprovoked. When you say yes they say “your sick man your fucked up” when you say no “oh, so you didn’t see anything or you didn’t do your job” fuck you. I protected my brothers but I’m not proud of any of it. They see us as heroes sometimes but we’re just people that got a another shot at life after a seeing the ugliness of mankind. This version of life we now live is weighed down with a darkness tinged with the knowledge that we are strong enough to be loved, forgiven and can tell the next group of young men eager for war that it is not the way. Hug your family, love your community, make the world a better place and live each day for those who you served with that are still their. This life is a beautiful gift.
