...just a different generation,... was "labeled" personality disorder "paranoid" for 18 years,... now it's PTSD...
...sorry for calling your methods into question last post, cause like I said, I'm from a differnt generation then you "old jaws"...been labeled a yankee for years, a NEEEW YOOORRKKKKEEERR, getto boy, just for setting my toes below the mason dixon line, born in 58, and grew up smelling urinals during "bomb shelter" drills, born into your shitty world watching my parents standing there crying when Kennedy was shot, civil rights riots, black panthers, charles manson, Martin Luther King, Chicago fires, Kent State, another Kennedy... between 63, and 68, thats between 5, and 10 years old, thats a lot for a boy to absorb,, BUT I'm supposed to trust "the Adults" then,..... right....., no one over thirty right, ...
...was different then........., for you, and for me,....I'm 7, and had a smoke stuffed in my mouth, had my first beers at 9, was in 65 fights with the local ophanage bastads before I got out of 8th grade, and never lost one, except when 7 of um dragged me behind a local garage, and beat me... so don't tell me how tough you are, I know how tough you are...so now i'm 44, and still never had any son of a bitch ever get close enough to cold cock me, and the ones that tried didn't get back up that quickly...
... you try livin in a world that is 8 years behind the ones that were goin over to Vietnam, try livin 8 years behind the ones that didn't want to go, try going to a private Catholic military high school from 73 through 77 by your own choosing, and my mother's waitressing tips during a time even here the locals would throw oranges at you for wearing a uniform, school, or not, our 10 years difference is substancial, but oh so damn similar also...
...James, you are the man, you were the man then, and your are a greater man now by the experiences you have had, glad you had AA, and have stayed clean...
...It's that old saying, never judge another until you have walked a mile in his mocccasins...
