I'm sure he made his peace with dying, does not take long in an active war zone, where you see death and destruction 24 hours a day.. where you could die just taking a shit, or brushing your teeth... once you can over come the fear of dying the rest is easy, well it puts the little stuff into perspective like the dude in the grocery store "not worth the effort" besides you then you have the cops asking all kinds of questions "they don't understand" they see you as just another criminal with PTSD" charging you with assault, getting a criminal record, going to court ya not worth the effort.
You can't fight city hall, or the will of the majority in this case the way the electoral system is set up... I've come to terms with it some what, we do have a voice but nobody is willing to hear anything from the right, and the right is not strong enough to take back this country... I hope and pray that one day someone with charisma, knowledge, common sense, takes the reigns and gathers the best minds this country has to offer and puts together a team that can bring us back from the brink...and does what is best for the country, not special interest groups, or people with power and money, or the power over the media.
I wish you the best, my days of defending are over i have no time or effort to give this country any more.
