Could you kill???

Yes, I could, defense and to take out someone who was a serious threat.

I have a theory on the suicides. If you wanna hear it?

Good answer! Sometimes we miss the mark. Sadly.

I do wanna hear it!

Who is 'WE'.

Had someone close lose someone. Maybe could have been prevented??

So the war in both Iraq and Afghan were over pretty quick AKA heavy fight. Then the occupations began AKA lighter fighting.

Us and those Special operators saw death over and over and over. A lot of the occupation guys didn't. Maybe one battle and an IED. I think it has to do more with frequency of the "trauma".

I'll give an example. Only one guy that was in the war that I know has committed suicide. Four... I say again four who didn't go to war, but participated in the occupation have.

As for recruiting my Grandpa who was in Korea told me this, "We were older, late twenties, early thirties. You were what 19? And so were all your buddies. Vietnam too."

And he was right.

Age is an issue. I think they think younger means better control? Sorry you were an "us". I hope all goes well for you :) I did see the post and pray for a successful resolve. Do you think it stems from there? Just curious?

Age and maturity is part of it. I mean I fired rockets and missiles during shock and awe. It was just a laptop screen to me at the time, kind of like a video game.

Then I had to roll down the highway in a helo to an oil fire and see what we had done...

Are you writing a paper or article on this topic?

EDIT: just saw your post on why you ask


YES I certainly could, for defense of someone/something that mattered, including innocents unknown to me.

Everything has a path prior to death. Nothing can be prevented when time has run its course.

INSIGHT

Reaction? Sorry.

No paper. Thank you for the response.

On the outside we were all stone cold, but looking back we all knew it was awful, because we were silent and didn't say much. We were always talking shit to each and what have you, so it was totally outta character. Nothing smells like burning flesh.

LOVE

Wow ! So sorry you had to experience that. People often fail to see what our country really can do if the need arises. No guilt on you.

LOL

you would be welcome into my life

BTW what is wrong with my butterfly? Picked it because it was pretty. No whatiz whatiz behind it?? Someone enlighten me please.

Do you think that would be more likely to happen to women?

Women no different than men. all the same.

Only different in how some view them ?

The more I think I have decided that women are far more deadly to men than men?

Yup, I could... and under any circumstance that called for it.

Depends on the circumstances.... If you get a few posts off GLP and think you know killing and death as a process, then you are sadly mistaken. Life gives you what you need. You will never understand someone's path without walking it in their shoes. If you walked a bloody walk and are trying to comprehend it. The only person who can help you is your conscious. Because when we die. It isn't god who takes judgement is is us...
