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.
