I served a tour in Afghanistan and saw my dead brothers. The way we withdrew from Afghanistan haunts me as much as my combat stress nightly nightmares. I feel as though I served our country valiantly and then they turned their back on us. I’m nothing but an empty shell if a man who once was able to feel emotions and love. I can’t feel shit anymore. I want to end my existence and leave this world, my wife and our children. I don’t want to continue poisoning them with my combat stress.
