What's New, Pussycat?

I trusted the military to make sure I went into a combat zone properly equipped.

I believed that my doctors at the VA would address my ankle condition without putting my life on hold in such a manner that it would ruin me financially.

I thought that my issues with PTSD and anxiety would be addressed with dignity.

Sadly, my optimism and trust fucked me. I signed a contract saying that I was willing to give my life for my country and in return, I get treated like a third-rate citizen.

What did I do wrong? I served my country. That is the only thing that I see that I’ve done wrong.
