I did have an issue in my group therapy sessions with a couple
of the members in my group therapy.
They were in different branches.
They weren't on the front lines like I was.
They were in the rear with the gear and they saw stuff
but the stuff they saw was injured Marines,
injured Army personnel.
They weren't actually affected themselves and I would get mad
when they're telling their story and here I am,
I mean I'm telling my story and you know, I was in Humvee
that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade
and I took an AK round to the foot.
And I'm telling mine and I'm like, "Man, I was like,
you guys are here and I don't feel like you need to be
in the same group as me.
I mean I bled and you didn't.
I was fighting every night and you didn't."
I've to come to realize that you need all kinds
of different wheels to make the machine run.
And it's not just the Infantry that deserves the, I guess,
the group therapy sessions or the help.
It's everybody.
I mean even if you just saw somebody injured
that can stick with you.
I mean it's another American, it's another brother or sister
to you that was injured.
Now I that I look back on it, that would stick with me
if I saw another one of my brothers or sisters go down.
The PTSD clinic is for everybody.
It's not just for Infantry or you know, it's for everybody.
