December 22, 201312 yr RT @Fox19Kelly: LATONIA SWAT: Chief Spike Jones tells us 3 children were removed from the home. Ages 15, 11 and 5. Being evaluated, but appear uninjured. Glad to hear that.
December 22, 201312 yr He said all along it wasn't about the kids and he would protect them for anyone coming in. I'm glad they were removed from the house in any event.
December 22, 201312 yr This guy may simply be a bad guy. However' date=' we really need to pay more attention to PTSD with our veterans. Lots of cuts to support for them yet lots of cases being reported.

The fact that the government has cut programs to help them is sickening.
December 22, 201312 yr Having dealt with friends and family that have really struggled with it to some extent it's something that really concerns me over the next couple decades. The fact that the government has cut programs to help them is sickening. I was told by someone in the military that working age veterans under 62 wouldn't be affected by any cuts. I don't know that for sure though.
December 22, 201312 yr I was told by someone in the military that working age veterans under 62 wouldn't be affected by any cuts. I don't know that for sure though. Oh so to hell with the Vets over 62? The Gov sickens me period in how they deal with our veterans. The red tape is a complete joke, I have seen it first hand with my late father who was a Vietnam vet and had to deal with their Oscar Mayer Bologna for years. Edited December 23, 201312 yr by mcpapa
December 22, 201312 yr This guy may simply be a bad guy. However, we really need to pay more attention to PTSD with our veterans. Lots of cuts to support for them yet lots of cases being reported. We can't ask these people to go to the bad parts of the world and then not provide needed support when they return. People don't understand sometimes, how debilitating PTSD can be to a person. It causes a whole range of symptoms, and some can make life unbearable for the person and those around them. That said, this man likely has some underlying mental disorder that is being aggravated by his not having access to proper medication.
December 23, 201312 yr Nice. :lol2::lol2::lol2: Not laughing at you, but your response to "Semperfifalcon's" comment. He put a lot of heart felt thought in to that.

Only said what I heard.
December 24, 201312 yr Spike Jones prepared a video thank you to all the people that helped prevent a disaster.
December 24, 201312 yr After reading the article in the Enquirer today about the guy, he sounds like he had some severe problems going back a few years. Whether they were due to PTSD or not, he still had some major stuff going on in his life.
December 24, 201312 yr Nice. Feel free to roll your eye... It's people like you that IMO drum up and validate something I hardly consider legit like PTSD... You want to roll your eyes consider this, then you'll see where I place you as a sympathizer and thus enabler... PTSD, IMO has more to due with our weak society and our inability to compartmentalize the things experienced in war... A couple things to consider when talking up PTSD; 1) Our mommy society has softened up the training methods used by the military to the point it's very hard to weed out the physically and mentally weak. 2) The lack of good jobs has pushed a lot of normally unwilling people into the ranks of the military, those people will be hard to get to buy in to our purpose overseas. That lack of belief, that we are doing what is necessary is what further screws with their mind. 3) I have and will always be against deploying the national guard (any reserve unit for that matter) overseas. I don't think you can expect someone who plays soldier one weekend a month and two weeks a year to preform well. I have seen it first hand, they are not up to par mentally or militarily. It was a common belief and practice of my unit to avoid guard units when possible. It's not their fault at all and I don't intend to devalue their service, but, to think you can pull a man out of "normal" society one week and have home overseas the next is foolish.
