Question for a veteran, how hard is it getting used to sleeping in a proper bed after coming back, also what other basic things felt weird

It always seemed weird coming back and seeing that people don't have the same kind of mindset you do.
Your used to people that come from all over the world becoming closer than anyone else, and the trust and knowing I have your back and you have mine, but not seeing that or feeling that when your around civilian friends.

Not having your weapon at the ready when your out and about. Felt weird as as fuck for a couple of weeks. Kept waking up in the middle of the night wondering where the fuck it went. The anxiety was horriffic.

My personal experience: while I was over there I would always wake up in a startled shock. I would be sleeping and the air raid sirens would go off and everyone around me would be in mask running for the nearest bunker. Sometimes it was scud missiles, sometimes it was enemy fighters.

So when I'd wake up it was always in a panic and I had few secs to ask what was going before I was alone because everyone fled. That had a lasting effect and I realized it when I got back and room service gave us a wake up call and I panicked. It's been over 10 years now but even today, when someone slams a trash lid outside my window my eyes pop open and my heart is pounding.

How does it feel, wasting away as the average joe, only doing the 'normal' things in life?
For some of us, 'normal' is not enough
we love this world and our country with all of our hearts
we are willing to put our lives on the line to stop the people who want to destroy this world we love
we are the proud

the US Marines

After getting over the anxiety of not having my weapon and waking up at every car alarm and slammed door, all I ever find myself thinking of is how civilians have no idea just how good they have it. They haven't the slightest clue about how shitty of a place the world can be and the kind of shit people live in. Americans take soooooo much for granted and will never be able to understand just how senseless all the whining really is.

Good friend of mine goes into lockdown on 4th of July as loud noises instantly put him into survival mode. We worked together for a while and every time someone dropped forklift forks too hard(They can slam into the ground pretty hard at times) he would jump up and try to shove me under my desk. Even saying his name and shit wouldn't snap him out of it, only time would.

My deployment was on a DDG in the Persian Gulf and the biggest things to get over is the long hours. However on first deployment about 7/300 left for "suicidal thoughts" though for the most part they were just bitch asses that could not handle being away from home. I would be interested to see how much that happens in the other services especially when they are not sitting out in the Persian Gulf but were in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc doing patrols.

ugh this argument is sooo annoying.

yes, being a vegan is actually helping simply because you are not supporting those industries. you might think "one person not buying doesnt make a difference" thats true but what if the number of people buying drops slowly over years? change has to start somewhere, why not start it yourself.

THIS.

I can think of someone saying "OMG, I had a such a bad day! My car wouldn't start so I called triple A and it took someone nearly 15 minutes to get there!"

To me, a bad day means one or more casualties. People really don't know how good they have it. On an ironic note, me thinking about that is part of what has me struggling with depression, and even though I have a shit load of opportunities and am far more comfortable now than I was there, there are still a lot of times when I just feel like staying in bed all day.

Anyway.
Back to OP.
I slept pretty well. Having a nice comfortable bed instead of some pos spring mattress helps. I'm guessing you meant mentally though. When you mean veteran, I'm guessing you mean being a civilian, instead of just coming back and being stateside. Things that felt weird to me is just how damn empty and thrown around "thank you for your service" phrase is. Then you start realizing that people just don't give a shit about those in any uniform. Military, police, firefighters, etc. people take it for granted and don't appreciate they things they have compared to the shithole countries we go over to and do things in. After working with a unit of people and a base full of people working for the same purpose and "good" (relative), after coming back you can see that other people are just straight up assholes and can't cooperate with each other. That's just some of my view anyway. Thoughts or more questions.

Do you think that is the general feeling of vets when they are thanked for their service? I've said it to some, but I don't go out of my way to say it to everyone wearing the hat or uniform, only those I'm engaged in conversation with, and I absolutely mean it every time I say it. Would it be better to not say it at all? Can you offer up an alternative to show our gratitude, or is it just not even wanted?

Yes and no. Personally I hated it, but that was just what I was doing and where I was when I was stateside. In Afghanistan I was doing more of a Cav Scout job and would have preferred going back to that instead of being what I was and stuck in Virginia.
on the Yes said. Fuck yeah. Most of the qualities you learn and adhere to are great for the rest of your life. If you stick to what you're taught, you can not only be better at what you do, but better than the next shitbag civilian with their "safe spaces" and crap. Even though I hated most of it, I'm proud to have said I've served and did my part because I sacrificed things that 99% of the population takes for granted.

>thinking if you stop eating animal they will magically stop eating and drinking too
My biggest problem with veganism is their inability to see their own hypocrisy. You think you are helping the earth by trying to go against its naturally implemented systems. Humans are omnivores, we eat meat and plants. All energy we carbon based life forms consume stems from the sun. The plants absorb the energy and we eat them for it. Or the animals eat the plants for it and we eat the animals for it. Either way it is life eating life to survive. That is the way of nature and the cosmos. Galaxies collide and destroy each other, only to form bigger and better ones in the process. Your ideals are peace time ideals. My grandfather fought in WWll so faggot like you can try and make real men feel bad for being completely human.
>>
>>678374423
and the fact that if the industrialized food industry was stopped millions of people would starve to death. That may be okay with them as the humans are not "cute pigs and bunnies"

Stfu faggot. If you wanna eat nothing but that shit just cause you want to, that's fine. But if you do it because you want to feel morally superior and think that being vegan makes you better than anyone else, you're just a huge faggot
>>
>>678374061
Well, that's just personal opinion. I wouldn't doubt that some like hearing it so that other person acknowledges them and their service. There's times when I read or hear about someone paying for a soldiers/vet's drink or lunch and I think that's really nice and not just something someone can say and act like that's enough. I'm not saying that we should earn a free drink or something, but it's definitely more of an act of thankfulness and real appreciation than some quick sentence a child can throw out. We don't expect thanks. We learn that early on along with all the hate some people have for the military. We didn't sign up for that though.

>>678376589
And how is that any better? If we use that logic than any bulk grocery store is bad. Why should there be sprouts then? Do all vegans only go and forage their own food? In a hunter gatherer society should the hunter not share the food they hunt? It is called society for a reason. I build your house, you catch me some animals, some other guy will provide the lumber for the house ect. ect. this should not have to be explained to you, it is the very basic principles behind civilization. Help other people and let other people help you. It is not "Try to do something to stand out because you THINK it is a real issue and antagonize others until they do what you do." That system leads to people getting fucked up, you are just lucky to have had soldiers to protect and allow you to do what you do.

I'm not a vegan, and I am thankful for People who have died for my freedoms. I don't think any of those people are alive anymore because most ww2 vets are dead. Unfortunately politicians have gotten us into wars we shouldn't have been in. That's not soldiers fault, though.

The difference is that plants have no conscience and feel no pain. Whether a plant is sold in a store or harvested by hand makes no difference to it. An animal who is raised is disgusting conditions, which I'm willing to bet you have no idea of, and slaughtered whole sale is much different than an animal who is grazing in a pasture and dead the next.

If you saw holding pen and slaughter house conditions you may change your mind, if for no other reason than you're eating something that lived it's life marinating in its own shit.

I have no problem with hunters for the record, I respect them.

I'm not a vegan/vegetarian but your reasoning is flawed. Basically, the only real argument against going vegetarian is "meat tastes good".That's it. Just like the only real argument for having guns is "guns are awesome". You can try to rationalize your way out of it but what we are doing is immoral.

Lol. I've watched the "horrendous" conditions of slaughter house videos. Just part of society. Gotta step up production so Micky Ds can keep slinging the burgers. That doesn't make any difference. If that wasn't happening people would literally die from starvation. Not that they don't deserve to. Everyone deserves the death they get. No life, human, animal, or otherwise is precious. Got news bucko
>>
>>678378740
I can respect that and I have seen quite a bit of material showing animals in atrocious environments. I agree that those issues should be addressed but it is not fair to use that as the norm. I have also been to farms where the animals are kept very comfortable, and seem to genuinely enjoy their life. I also want to start try my hand at hunting, and try to go maybe once or twice a year for my own meat. I think there should definitely be more standards around how we raise the animals that we eat.

If you're happy with that, that's fine. I'm not really trying to change your mind.

I'm also not so defensive and touchy that I have to insult people who have a different thought than I do. I know you don't sound like that in real life, if I was actually in front of you you'd actually probably be polite. Might be good to think about why you sound one way online and another in real life.

>>678379170
You saying something is "the only reason for it" does not make it so. Your ego aside, their are plenty of reasons to eat meat and own guns. If you genuinely believe there are not then you are just a sweet summer child. Do not worry, the big bad meat eaters will not come get you in the night.

Found out through threads like this that i'm a bit of a psychopath. I never had any reactions to the things I experienced over there. One time we were taking cover in a half destroyed house being shelled by artillery and a couple of the guys were crying one was praying. I was the only one that kept his composure. Heart rate went up but I never felt scared. I don't ever find myself flashing back to taking cover or waking up to raid sirens etc.

No, if people actually utilized their food better we wouldn't need most of those slaughter houses.

Did you know that people in the us throw away half of the total did produced?

It's people being wasteful, not "it's natural" or "its necessary" or when all else fails "it tastes good".

Once on patrol we were passing by a rather large puddle. We weren't going very fast since there were people in the roads. Kid comes OUT OF THE FUCKING PUDDLE and throws a rock at our window and falls right back in puddle. All I could think is how long has that kid been holding his breath underwater. Kid cracked window. Ballistic windows cracked by a rock. Never felt safe after that.

You ever thrown a MRE at a group of kids? Its like your own personal UFC PPV. Throw at one kid and 2 seconds later he's swarmed, then its a all out brawl of 8-10 year old kids. its awesome.

Fair enough, I might have phrased that badly. Of course there are other reasons to eat meat. It tastes good, it gives you nutrients, it's a cultural thing and we are designed by nature to eat meat. But all those reasons don't make it less immoral. As I said before, I do eat meat, but only because I was raised to do so and because it is socially acceptable. If in vitro meat was a thing already and it was just as good as regular meat I would make the transition in a hearbeat. Fact is, the world would be a better and less cruel world if we were to stop killing animals. Go ahead and deny it.

To the vets: Does it affect you in any way that your deployment (assuming it was Afghan or Iraq) did not have any positive impact on anything whatsoever? Do you care about the mission in its entirety, or do you just see it as a job without really caring about the consequences? I know it sounds like i'm taking a stab at you but honestly i'm not trying to be a smart ass. I just think it's pretty much accepted by any standards that those missions did not accomplish anything.

That's not exactly how supply and demand works...

They'll continue to produce at the largest volume possible, supply and demand will simply effect the price.

So in essence, what will happen with vegans not eating it, is there will be over supply... if these vegans actually changing anything... and the meat will just get cheaper to compensate...

While in a major sense, if a huge market trend was to stop eating meat, then yes, supply would become too high and you crash the market. Raising animals would become too expensive for a small payout due to the over-saturation, and yes the vegans will have made a difference.

The problem is with vegans, is they don't understand that the industry is not directly linked to the demand. Ranchers that are set up and running will not slow down production because of a dip in supply, they'll just take the economic hit and not be able to afford the new model of 4K TV that year.
>>
>>678386518
This is on top of the fact that a single person subsisting off a pound of ground beef for an entire week makes pretty much the same environmental impact as a single vegan.

Considering there's a much LARGER group of people that simply eat to live, where as a lot of vegans I've ran into live to eat, like a vegan.

You didn't smear shit all over this thread, so I'll give you a thorough response:

You're correct in that it isn't purely supply and demand - mass murdering farmers are subsidized through taxes and government programs to keep their dying business going, because of tradition and norms of murdering animals and eating their corpses.
Even with this, now that more and more people are turning away from eating corpses, farmers are closing down en-masse globally, protesting and demanding bigger subsidies.
This is not 4K TV level.

I never got to serve. Was cucked into the university style indentured servitude by my parents who didn't know any better. But I swear to God I want to kill for a cause. I wanted to be an airborne ranger before my parents decided to disown me if I went to the military. I made the wrong choice. I don't live with the soft American insanity that most are prescribed to, and I don't mind if you believe me or not. I wanted to be a trigger puller through and through for no other reason than the fact that I believe that the warrior culture is the highest pinnacle of humanity that one can achieve. I envy you OP. Right now I am seriously considering moving to kurdistan controlled Iraq after I graduate college and becoming a Peshmurga because I allign with their cause and believe that the true gates of manhood and reality lie at the end of a path of battle and righteous sacrifice. Come home with this shield or upon it.
