Coming home from the military
#21
RE: Coming home from the military
Man, I dunno. My brother's a lifer. Dude was practically born with the rifle in his hands, all they had to do was give him the uniform and the tabs and the targets. Ever hear that song "Bad Company" by Five Finger Death Punch? That's pretty much him. Him entering civilian life would be impossible and I don't think he ever intends to try.

I know what you mean about the transition, though. My brother's become a lot more distant, less empathetic, and more aggressive than he was before. He got mugged once and the guy who mugged him ended up in a hospital with brain damage.
