GLOBALS
President Trump, Family, Team, and Anons
I wanted to firstly thank you all for giving me something worth fighting for again. Though I realize that the war we fight is far from over, I do have the urgent need to take care of myself and my family in the most responsible way I can, seeking the help I have needed for far too long. As a now almost 40 year old Iraq veteran, I have wrestled for more than 15 years with physical and mental health issues while never really adjusting back to the life that I had left.
Coming from a lower class broken home and having not understood national or world politics prior to service, I received my crash course during our deployment. As the Bush-Obama transition happened a few months in Country and my mid-level (E5) insight into our regional operations, I had recognized the major political influence, mismanagement, seemingly intentional hamstringing of our troops, and blatant waste, fraud, and abuse with regards to contracts, materials, our task, and even our purpose. I became disheartened by the system and chose not to reenlist.
Returning home after service, I tried to find my place within a society that seemingly had no values, compassion, or care for the well being of not only themselves but anyone else. Awareness of the darkness not only in war zones but a new suspicion of evil that had seemingly taken hold of the Country I fought for and so many others died for. Seeing the degeneracy and psychological manipulators in society began to metastasize throughout almost every aspect of my life. Nothing was enjoyable. I tried to fill life with beauty, my wife, our 3 children. I kept my head down and worked hard on the assembly line for a Big 3 auto manufacturer, ear buds in, listening to talk radio, music, or educational podcast nearly 40 hours a week for more than a decade. Patterns of our unavoidable realities became apparent.
Depression and hopelessness with regards to my service connected injuries and declining mental health took control of my life, endless pain, inability to relate to anyone, a VA that didn’t seem very interested in helping, everywhere I looked something disappointing or nefarious always seemed to lurk just beneath the surface.
With children and having that paternal instinct kick in to protect, I began recognize something much more sinister going on and with the recognition of how intentional these activist, politicians and media companies were in the directing of policy in our government. It became obvious to me that many within our government had no intention of serving 'We the People' of the United States. Their intent was our Country’s demise. Unfortunately I did not have hope in this period that I have today, watching the Country I loved and fought for being destroyed, people suffering, fellow veterans committing suicide, while a bunch of clowns manipulated the masses with Media, Music, Hollywood so blatantly involved.
Attempts to bring this to the attention of family, friends, VA therapists were met with blank stares of unconcern and disillusion, this furthered my isolation and led to a very dark period in my life. Frustrations, inability to temper my retaliation to those who sought me or my family harm, and shocked by those who felt compelled to get in the way of me seeking truth and standing for what I knew to be right and good. As the chronic pain worsened, angry and frustrated with everything, I nearly became a statistic around the time President Trump won the Primary election in 2015. Something about him made me hang in there just to see what was coming, and I am thankful I did.
As they attacked him with their lies and deceit, their systems of control became obvious to me. The depression and hopelessness was forever changed in an instant as I recognized our Nations common unseen enemy in plain sight. Their hatred revealed them, their motives showed their intent. [They] were knowingly subverting the Constitution of the United States and therefore became my enemy. Not in a militaristic way, but I prayed, and made it my mission to fight against the scourge of evil on this planet with all I had. Liberty or Death.
It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve in the way that God has led me, and under your leadership for the previous 8 years. My oath never expired and never will, though I am too far gone physically to reenlist (I attempted), I will continue to fight for the principles enshrined in our Nation’s Founding Documents, in a manner suitable to be referred to as a Patriot for as long as I live.
While I have reached my own precipice from chronic pain, isolation, and career ending injuries. Discussions with my VA providers have prompted them to refer me for a PTSD treatment program. I know that God calls me to step outside the comfort of my secluded corner of the world that I have isolated myself in, not only for the benefit and well being of myself and my family, but also to be more effective in verbal communication to help educate, inform and encourage my fellow citizens, locally, nationally and even internationally while developing meaningful relationships with others, and prayerfully assist in rehabilitating other veterans helping them find a renewed sense of purpose and pride.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Rooster and Family
