Veterans...Get the hell in here now!

I don’t hate them anymore. It took some extreme measures, but I found peace in my confusion, and a release from my suffering and bitterness. Ayahuasca probably saved my life. I used to be addicted to amphetamines and opiates for 4 years.

I did drugs, played with my life a lot, enjoyed it too. Never backed down from anyone. It’s like a dream. I tried to bury it but it comes back. But I just try to redeem myself here out. Shepherd the lost souls. Maybe one day I will be judged, but I was a child myself. I was hooked to the cables once, I don’t remember much but I don’t think I said anything. I think though it jump started my brain, cuz we’re electric and I sense things and other shit I won’t say so no one thinks I’m sec 8 lol. But lightning I felt coming this summer so I moved just enough when it did hit I was feet away. Coolest shit I’ve seen. It sounded like a bomb and looked like the delorian in back to the future with the electric waves down it. Arcs and frys my shit lol. I just knew it was coming, I felt it.

I’ve flown in them before. They are fucking huge inside, and the exposed internals along the walls always freaked me out. On our way home in one, I swear the pilot had us completely sideways, because we were all like “WHOA, WTF?!” Got a little air sick with that one.

See if they would use the villages to set ambushes cuz they less prone to civilian kills then prior, and then have flir suits or spider hole networks near. Then set their trap so tight like General Giap said, cling to their belts. Those guided weapons can’t be used, in fear of friendly kills. No artillery. Then duck out and mine the tunnels, we would be in trouble. Tanks are an option but not in high terrain in mountains. Air support neutralized, it’s man vs man really

When I was there, Bin Laden was still alive. I felt then, that we belonged there. After about 2011-2012, I felt we should have pulled out.

Conventionally speaking, you are right. But they are very crafty, I give them that. Like fighting ghosts, most of the time. Getting into firefights every day, getting blown up a few times a week. Their 5 year old kids are triggermen to IEDs, 15 year olds with Dragunovs. We got one of them that was plaguing us for a few months. He was a good shot, too, that kid. His luck just ran out. Turned him into swiss cheese, firing into the woodline. It was only after we found his body we realized he was just a kid. Usually are pretty good about dragging their dead away. He must have been doing his thing solo.

Definitely don’t underestimate them, though. They’re a bit backwards, but they aren’t stupid. The dumb ones are mostly already dead.

My unit chased him to Pakistan. We could have had him in '03. We basically had him on the run from Operation Mongoose onward. There were very few of us in the country at the time. I think it was around 12,000 US troops in total including support pogues. Anyway we just pulled back and went to Bagram and had cheesy eggs at a chowhall and the latest CDs at the PX. They didn't want that war over, if they really did, we could have gotten him then. It was obvious even then, especially when you saw the multitudes of KBR folks wasting so much commissary. We had our orders to Iraq before we even left A-stan.

I still think back about that country. It is so beautiful. Flying nap of the earth there was one of the most exhilarating experiences I can remember.

I have jumped out of more of them than I have landed in. Well, not AC-130, just the C130s.

That war could be over quick if we quit arming both sides

I was a leg. I’m planning my first jump pretty soon as a civilian. I have a friend who just became an instructor who wants to throw me out of the plane. Freefall from 15,000 to 3,000-1,800.

Thanks for your service.

Never jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I have a really bad feeling about this, myself. He’s the dude who introduced me to the Ayahuasca, though, so I trust his intentions at least. He’s like Dante, the dude with the monkey from Grandma’s Boy. But, yeah. Over 12,000 straight feet of freefall. This is going to be fucking ridiculous.

Don't, trust me. If you live to my age it won't be a fond memory

Listen to yourself

I probably shouldn’t do it, you guys are right.

Andrew Lumish of Land O’ Lakes, Florida, spends most of his waking hours scrubbing down the tarnished and moss-covered tombstones in historic cemeteries around Tampa, exposing the essential information of a life story just waiting to be rediscovered. During the month of February, he’ll be telling the stories of African-American veterans during Black History Month.

“We will be sharing the restoration process and the stories of two African-American veterans per week to celebrate their service and sacrifice to our country,” Lumish says.

This could be us......but divide and conquer techniques are always used to divide us all

The Irish bottle kids are my hero’s. They aren’t sacred of shit. Throwing rocks and bottles and bricks at armed military units face to face against bullets and body armor

This is part true. Definitely not the truth about the ira though.
