LAWD dude that use to work for me.............


Dec 21, 2018, 8:37 PM

Ex Navy Vet was just on the phone with me earlier (severe PTSD) and he has cancer so he spilled his guts to me tonight about what did in Beirut after the Marine barracks bombing.

Killed a 12 yr old kid because he walked up to him with a AK. He's haunted and was talking about doing bad stuff to himself. Damm I'm no psychologist/psychiatrist I just tried to talk him off the ledge. (fingers crossed)


Not what I needed hear tonight. I need a shot now.

Unfortunately there is no right/wrong thing to say

Put the emphasis on what he has to live for.

Give him this number: tel:1-800-273-8255. VA National Suicide Prevention hotline.

Dec 21, 2018, 9:06 PM

and maybe shouldn't be posting this but #### I'm just trying to talk to him as I type.

Trying to get in touch with my Recon buddy that was at Beirut to call him. Plus I'm giving him #### about once a Hippie now a Trumper. Just trying to get him off the subject.

And he just hung up on me crying. Damm.

Sorry gang I'm out.

Not a shrink but I have worked with folks with PTSD

Nothing to mess with. You MUST let someone know what’s going on. Let them decide if he is in danger or a danger to someone else. Call the local cops or 911 and bring it to their attention. It’s not a lose-lose situation if this guy gets the help he needs. T’s and P’s coming your way.

Update: I called dude and yes woke his butt up.............


Dec 22, 2018, 7:07 AM

Hey I can't help it if people don't get up as early as me. Seemed a bit better this morning. Thanked me for listening to him last night. I gave him the number that grouchingtiger® posted. He said he would call it later today because he wanted to go back to sleep "damm you Bruce" lol.

OK back to cleaning house listening to music. On right now..........
