While scrotes as a whole are a liability, the ones in the military tend to be especially unhinged. Most of them are violent, misogynistic and bigoted as fuck. They'll snap on you in a heartbeat , often for no reason like what happened to the poor lady in the link above. The comments are really saddening.
There's a reason i especially don't touch miliary scrotes with 50 foot pole. I don't feel like walking on eggshells just so he doesn't choke/shoot me while hallucinating im the enemy in bumfuck vietnam/afghanistan.
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
Stay away from military men and police officers. They can be your colleagues, neighbors, and acquaintances. But DO NOT date, fuck, or marry them.
As a person with officially diagnosed ptsd I've never done anything like this.
Even when I had night terrors/hallucinations/flashbacks during the early untreated stages of my ptsd I still had control of my mind and body. Even when I was heavily medicated. All the medications do is emotionally numb, and sedate you.
Like I could literally be in the middle of a fire and the meds would prevent me from having most of my hyper vigilant responses. My mind basically turned into jello. The purpose of the medications is to reduce/stop the constant alarm bells that go off in someones head because the constant stress is exhausting.
Ptsd does not effect self awareness or make people involuntarily aggressive. It can make you more paranoid, depressed, irritable or cause all kinds of other problems though. People with ptsd are wayyy more likely to self harm, be abused or isolate themselves than go around harming other people.
A man going out of his way to hurt others is not a symptom of ptsd. That's just abusive and entitled behavior.
Ptsd is not an excuse for strangling someone. Why do we almost never see female veterans act like this?
If men ever use ptsd as an excuse for being abusive pieces of shit then women should never feel bad about leaving and reporting them.
If a man chokes you it's because he hates you. What next? Is he gonna murder her and blame it on his hallucinations?
I feel really bad for her. I feel like she really cares about him and wants to help. I hate seeing loving compassionate people get taken advantage of.
I hope she leaves him and adopts a pet or child instead. It's way more fulfilling to nurture and protect someone that actually deserves it.
A lot of the responses to that post reminds me of that time a woman was randomly stabbed by a man having an episode of some kind in a Walmart. The woman nearly died but thankfully survived. The man was eventually deemed okay to be set loose on the unsuspecting public, after he spent some time in a psych ward. This poor woman was pressured to meet with the man and accept his shitty apology. With cameras rolling so it can be aired on TV.
These men's wants get pioritized over the people they harm. I am so sick of seeing it.
"Oh, but it wasn't his fault, he didn't mean any harm! He's been through some shit! We can't stigmatize, we have to support them!" I don't give a shit! These men are not the only people on earth who have shit to deal with. Cry me a fucking river. I care about keeping everyone else, especially women, safe from being victimized by these men.
If I know it's deadly dangerous for someone to touch me in my sleep, I would lock myself away when it's time to go to sleep - I would pioritize keeping my loved one alive over what's convienent for me.
Why??? I was really (foolishly) hoping for some sanity in the comments of that post, but sure enough the first comment "Hey, my husband does the exact same thing, teehee!! 😜"
I feel for these women, I really do. My heart goes out to them. But WHY would you want to live like this? You want to spend the one precious life you have living in fear? For what??? I just don't get it.
I wish society in general didn't view woman as so expendible that we're advised to put violent men above our own safety.
If these men are so violent prone that they can kill a woman at a moment’s notice for something as innocuous as tapping him on the shoulder…then shouldn’t they be separated from society all together?
I guess for me, it boils down to the same argument as when people say that men can’t understand consent or can’t resist assaulting a woman. If men “cannot help it”, then they cannot live in a free society. Jail or a secured mental facility would be a better option for them.
Ok. So I understand what they go through is traumatic. And maybe I don't have a good understanding of war induced PTSD.
But I do kinda wonder if she was to ever make him mad or upset, if he's strangle her again and say it's PTSD.
I don't think you can trust Military men or police men etc. they're always attacking their wives.
All those comments wirh women WHO HAVE CHILDREN that are just brushing it off because their husbands beat them up and strangle them too, are gross.
She should leave before he actually kills her. Those women in the comments should leave before their husbands kill them and the kids too.

Call me cold hearted but I think he needed to use PTSD as an excuse to do fucked up shit and deliberately mumbled army jargon just to make her believe it. I bet he raped women like that while he was out at war and wanted to see if it worked at home.
Veteran woman literally never do that, they literally never muster up the strength to choke someone at morning wood time (when testosterone levels increase).
Let's say Im an asshole for assuming that, still literally just leave him. They're burdenous and dangerous without the PTSD
