Just like we do not know what lies for us in the next moment. Will the Police come to arrest or attempt to intimidate me? Will one of my letters be read by the right person to piss off and have them use more government powers for more retaliation to stop my opinion? Identifying if I am really here leads down other paths. The newspapers would rather print use less opinion than that which questions the political wrongs accruing in our government every day. Who has the power to judge which opinion is worthy of the readers seeing? Why do we send innocent children off to fight for a cause that the citizens of the U.S. have lost site of? It can be like an end less mental maze. Editors believe telling the readers the truth about what we do over there will harm society back here. Politicians believe showing moral what ever will protect their political image to ensure re-election. We take the civilized up bringing of our child, educate them with the belief serving in the U.S. armed forces is the brave thing to do. Boot Camp changes the child from having compaction for others to survival first for the country we are doing it for. Kill before taking prisoners and maybe a short calendar will get closer. Can the two sides ever identify with each other through the mental maze each side wants to believe in? The reality is when we are over there death is only seconds away yet we continue because of our love to may be come home some day to a place that is different. The Veterans Administration believes that they can win by causing my suicide. Fake the records to ensure the public that sees medical care was beyond what this U.S. Marine deserved or needed. A VA doctor tells you to stop taking a medication because it is destroying your liver. The Administration calls your home later to tell you they are renewing the prescription and do not stop taking it. MY wife and legal guardian tell me not to take the medication. My head is pounding and my combat related disabilities are driving me insane with pain. My two worlds are colliding in my head. The mental maze fights between did I kill that child when I was 17 and make it back or did he kill me and this is a Marine’s Hell for eternity? No one wants to answer the question of where am I. Do you know what it is like not to even know your wife and kids one moment and other times you do? How about conversations with others where you cannot remember what the subject is? Like Coffee this morning where when the waitress is talking you’re in a village someplace deep in the bush trying to understand a language that you can’t. It is like a mental maze where suicide cannot be achieved with out the help of the VA. My mental maze continues because this does not happen back here in the world “U.S.”. The newspapers have gone out of their way to inflame the public to not accept my reality. If my suicide is successful will the newspapers tell how the VA encouraged it or cover the facts to protect the public? Reality is there is no end to this mental maze for there is no answer for the next second until it gets here.
