I have a friend who’s a green beret who is shockingly honest about the things he saw, did and experienced during the GWOT (global war on terror).

I asked him once how he can be so candid and he told me “that shit is like poison dude, you gotta get it out”

It was a good reminder that whatever “terrible secret” is festering inside, you should probably just say it out loud and be free of it.

OK, but what has this go to so with Bitcoin Core being wankers and attacking Bitcoin?!

Some life's subject don't need to be always related to #bitcoin

That's a powerful insight🫂raw, but deeply human. What your friend said speaks to the emotional toll of carrying unspoken burdens. Letting those truths out isn't just about storytelling; it's about survival. It’s a reminder that silence can be corrosive, and that honesty...however painful...can be a path to healing. Sometimes saying it out loud is the bravest thing a person can do.🫂🫂🫡

My ex was former military and when he told me what he went through I cried for 3 days

Abu Graib man, nuff said.

I find ex military are appreciative when people ask them about their experiences and try to talk to the man rather than the soldier.

Ye took that advice

Good point. Similarly, I decided to stop telling "white lies." I just straight up tell people no and offer no reason why if I don't want to give one.

I realized I was so burdened by lies when I don't have to be. I don't owe most people an explanation for most of my decisions, but I do owe myself peace.

Careful

Loose lips sink ships

The truth can be said if people are ready to hear it really.

You were ready that day. Stay open and aware.

I worked for a major fiat custodian for 7 years. All the stocks and bonds are actually held at depository trust company, not state street or bony mellon.

YOUR BUDDY IS RIGHT. IF ANYONE IN THE VOID IS OPEN TO READING ONE OF MY GRAPHIC LITTLE GWOT EXPERIENCES, HERE'S A MEMORY THAT'S HAD ME DOWN LATELY THAT I CAN'T TELL MY WIFE OR ANYONE AROUND HOME, YET IT'S COOKING MY SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:

A BUDDY KILLED HIMSELF ON MY FIRST DEPLOYMENT. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF WORKING TOGETHER EVERY DAY, IT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. THREE ROUND BURST FROM HIS M4 THROUGH HIS MOUTH AND OUT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD. I WAS APPOINTED THE SUMMARY COURT MARTIAL OFFICER AND HAD TO CONFIRM HIS IDENTITY, INVENTORY THE CONTENTS OF HIS BODYBAG/POCKETS, INVENTORY/PACK UP HIS BELONGINGS, SHIP IT ALL BACK TO DOVER, AND LATER SEND MEMORIAL ITEMS AND A LETTER BACK TO HIS WIFE.

ALSO HAD TO HELP THE UNTRAINED CLEAR TEAM WITH CLEANING UP AFTER CID INVESTIGATORS FINISHED THEIR JOB. IN THE DARK AND USING LOOSE-FITTING FOOD SERVICE GLOVES, I SEPARATED PIECES OF HIS BRAIN AND SKULL FROM PEA GRAVEL AFTER ALMOST 24 HOURS OF SITTING OUT ON A HOT AFGHAN SUMMER DAY. BRAIN TISSUE BASICALLY MELTS AND STICKS TO EVERYTHING IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. TURNED INTO A 54-HOUR WORKDAY, CRASHED A FEW HOURS, AND RIGHT BACK TO WORK FOR A BIG, WEEKS-LONG HAQQANI OFFENSIVE. IT'S STILL A TOUGH DEAL TO MENTALLY PROCESS.

IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR HELPING TAKE THE LOAD OFF MY BACK A LITTLE BIT.

As a fellow GWOT ground-pounder, this hits dead-on. What your buddy said … “that shit is like poison dude, you gotta get it out” is the exact medicine most of us avoid taking.

Sebastian Junger nailed this when he said the problem isn’t the vets, it’s that “modern society is so alienating and fragmented that returning to it feels like a betrayal of the unity we had in war.”

He’s also said, “If you want to make a warrior suffer, isolate him.”

That open line of communication, especially with those who never wore the uniform is the only path back. Not to fix us, but to fix the gap between the world we came from and the one we came home to.

I’m going to do a whole podcast on this on my way home. It’s time for it….

Hell yeah. Props to your friend for sharing that. Real power isn't all that stoicism BS. It's saying the things that have been eating you alive.
