Rash of Suicides in the Navy!

[BerettaGuy]

How is a young person in Ukraine handling the stress they are experiencing?
Americans, who have probably never had to work hard or broken a sweat outside of a gym don't seem to be handling the US Navy very well.
I wonder what the Navy's woke Admiral has to say? If life on a ship is too stressful, what about life in a foxhole or trench?
How does that hard men soft men thing go again?

Things are not as simple as they seem.
A battleground might be harder but can be also easier to process by our inner primitive mind.

Unfortunately our military has been severely degraded due to many things. More so in the past two-three years. Lots of good people retired or left for varying circumstances. I'm not going to bring it up, but some of you know where I'm going. Especially scientists and engineers. Now we got many weak minded souls in the military that flinch with every blow. It's not good.

I still believe think this was all carefully planned out by our neighbors over the past 10-15 years, more so since 9/11.

I can speak on this topic for hours and hours. There is so much in this article that just makes me sick. The complaining about doing a job that is outside ones MOS is a very disturbing statement for me. Except when I was a working Military Police Officer, the majority of my time in the Army was doing things that had nothing to do with my MOS. Regular Army? Maybe 20% of my time was doing my actual assigned duties, and that was mostly training on my equipment. I did a lot of Base cleanup, equipment cleaning and barracks maintenance.

Suicides in the Military are much higher than in the real world; on average, 22 per day. Nearly all of those 22 are from the effects of war and the mental pain caused by deployments, suicide because a ship needs to be maintained? Wow, I cannot have too much good to say about that.

I cannot tell you haw many floors I have waxed and buffed. How many pieces of trash I picked up. How many weeds I pulled, how many little rocks I had to paint. The list of mundane jobs goes on and on and on.

There apparently is a lot of serious weakness in today's military. I am glad I retired when I did.

You knew it was all down hill when basic started letting soldiers have cellphones.
