this is classic ptsd. the guy was already in 10th group in germany in 2007. this was during the "surge" in iraq. germany was wild at that time as it was just back and forth to iraq for every unit there. i can't imagine how many deployments this guy had as he was still active duty. no human is unaffected by that shit.  i was in baumholder, germany during this time with 2nd battalion, 6th infantry regiment, 1st ad. by 2007 this unit had the most time deployed during the war at 45 months. i deployed to iraq with them at the end of 07. a lot of the guys were on their 3rd or 4th tour and legitimately crazy. this was also the time when bush implemented the stop loss policy(backdoor draft). it was like getting denied parole. many of the soldiers there were no longer "volunteers" and just wanted to go home. good men were breaking down from the stress of it all. we had multiple suicides (guard towers). i was at camp liberty for a refit when the when a mentally ill soldier went on a mass shooting rampage.    liberty_shooting just saying, the mentally ill/war pilled/suicide vet thing is very true. this guy was just another example. you won't see the "high speed" podcasters talk about that part.
