Based upon your attitude, demeanor and the level of your anger by setting fire to your uniform, it’s not too hard to see why you were found guilty in a court of law. Im sorry for your PTSD, get a handle on it and don’t let it control your life. Thank you for your service 🫡

I can only say I'm so so sorry and you're right they bred you to kill by Bridget fight but Brad you could go to war never thinking of the consequences of when you came home then they shut down not thinking of the pain in the English and the torment it goes on in your heart and your mind every second of every day so please someone tell me what this life is really about what is war what is this war war is the battle that we have in our minds after the real war is over and no one's listening not one cares then they cast us out like we're nothing who cares right as long as they look perfect in everyone's eyes the sleepless nights the torment of flashes of what was and what we've become where are you now behind the desk sitting at home drinking your coffee having a great day not thinking make here we are popping pills going to counseling walking around shaking and scratching our heads wondering why why did we take someone's life

Jesus this made me shed a tear! I once served also. so when hit set his Class A's ablaze it show how much he is truly hurting. A lot of Veterans feel the same way after years of service and to be stabbed in the back by your own country.

first and for most, thank you sir for your service, weather the judicial system recognizes you or not WE TRUE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO,And I'd like to be the first to apologize for their IGNORANCE. My Father was also a VET of 2 foreign wars Karea and Vietnam. In which I'm very proud of, he was totally against me joining the service, said he forbid me to have anything to do with the armed service any branch.

America did it to every one that couldn’t fight back hard enough. In this world don’t trust any government. If you join any branch of the military don’t believe anything you hear get it in writing or don’t sign.

I'm so sorry you were treated this way. I don't know what has happened to this country. Well yes I do! We left God behind. We have totally shut him out!! We have lost what is the most important to us. We no longer stand together but divided. I am truly sorry for what has happened to our soldier's!! God bless you for He watches over you when no one else does. It won't be much longer and all of His chosen will be called out.

He had his day in court proving he aggravated assaulted the elderly lady, proving he is also lying about having PTSD. Therefore, a criminal with a depraved mind claiming America betrayed him. 😂

I did three years in prison for assaulting someone who walked inside of my tattoo shop threatening to assault me. The judge said because of the extent of the man’s injuries she has to punish me. Mine you it was six days before Christmas. I ended up losing my car and my shop.😢

It's not right. These judges who never serve in any way at all, Making judgments based on someone's word over another person's word that trial should have been dismissed because of heresy and no credible eyewitnesses. These judges are incompant and this guy is a hero and should have been treated as such.
