You read too much into it. Frazz commented about throwing someone out while "brandishing".
Probably not the most suitable pic but you still read too much into it.

Gotcha, although the OP apparently has nerves of steel since his friend's actions didn't do much in the way of phasing him...he probably won't get offended. However imo thats a pretty insensitive pic all things considered since you're basically cheerleading the use of a .50 cal against a friend who he served combat with when all he did was flip a table and then left in peaceful shame.
I'd understand if it was TFG at a tournament scene or something but here when we're dealing with combat vets...makes one's blood boil. But carry on I do read into things and am cynical by nature.

I had no idea it would offend. Most my friends are combat vets as well but they would have laughed about it.
Ah well. Easy to forget something might offend.

Trust me fellow dakkites. If you haven't figure out it takes a good deal to unnerve me. 50cal flying by your head does that to a fella. I'm not offend by any of your post.
Now back on topic. I do have a close bond with said person and we had to do some crap that still haunts us to this day.
He just sent me a text wanting to meet up and explain his actions. I mentioned to him in my reply that such behavior was not to take place again. As for the family issue neither my wife or son where home at the time of the offense. Its my hope to resolve this issue in the next couple of days.

Well guys and ghouls, just thought id give you an update.
seeing as you might be worndering. We have since sat down and had a real heart to heart.(to use a female term)
It seems that "tblock1984" was right it turns out he had a break down due to a past event. I'm not justify what he did but now i understand why he did. It has been hard for him these last few years as the ghost of those gone have begun to haunt him. Seems he has told no one about this and like the dutch boy and his dike. He sprung a leak but couldn't put his finger in it. Talking it out with me seems to have helped a good deal. As i to have the same demons hunting my soul.
So thanks again for the support and comments. They have givning me many things to think about.

Hey man, just leaving a note to congratulate you on how well you handled the situation. Seriously, well done.

To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

i v s d: talking with you is a great first step for him. Talking with a pro should be the next step. You served with him before, so please serve with him now...help him get help. If you don't know where to go, PM me, I will talk to some folks here at Madigan Army Medical Center to get you pointed in the right direction.

First off, thanks ip vin snarller dehizvin. Glad I can help. I know how PTSD can be.
LunaHound wrote:Can someone explain the paragraph to me ( ghost = post war syndrome of some sort? )
Sort of. This might help. It doesn't just apply to war, but any traumatic event, like a death in the family, or rape.
The diagnostic criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (Text Revision) (DSM-IV-TR), may be summarized as:
A. Exposure to a traumatic event
B. Persistent reexperience (e.g. flashbacks, nightmares)
C. Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma (e.g. avoidance of experiences that they fear will trigger flashbacks and reexperiencing of symptoms fear of losing control)
D. Persistent symptoms of increased arousal (e.g. difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger and hypervigilance)
E. Duration of symptoms for more than 1 month
F. Significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (e.g. problems with work and relationships.)
My brother sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night screaming about the "eyes." After a little encouragement and a long talk, I found out he refers to the eyes of his friend. My brother's gun jammed, and he took cover. His friend covered him, and he died from a rocket propelled grenade. As they were carrying the body bag, the head rolled out, and my brother froze as the eyes of his friend appeared to stare at him, as if saying, "If your gun didn't jam, I wouldn't have died."
Still haunts him to this day, but, he is coping a lot better now that he is out of the army and with family.
