For what it's worth, I've deployed 6 times to combat, and understand that certain feelings/memories tend to have a significant effect on your mood/state of mind. That being said, you didn't ask to be put in those horrible positions, you were placed there. Don't assume blame for a situation you were powerless to stop, accept that in order to survive horrible situations, you were forced to see and conduct unpleasant acts. Your country and fellow citizens owe you a great debt of gratitude for your bravery and sacrifice. Be proud of your service, but feel free to criticize or disagree with those who forced you to be in those situations and make those decisions. If you ever feel overwhelmed or alone, please talk to someone and get help. Thank you for your service/sacrifice!!!
