You know as I browse through his facebook pages getting to know a little more about Jeremiah I found this one thing ironic. It was a facebook app called how will you die. It said "Due to your love of guns and the military you are going to die in combat."

He wrote underneath it that he survived Iraq and Afghanistan so that is not how he was going to die.

One of the doctors I once worked with used to say "PTSD is a vampyre".

It sucks you out and let you die a silent inner death. The final stage where they possibly turn into maniacs shooting around or have chnaged so fundamentally in their personality that theyloose their families, jobs, friends, start moviong around restlessly and everywhere smell another scene of war lurking around the corner of their hometown, he called the "zombie-stage". It is just shadows of their former selfs, empty corpusses (?) that move around. From this stage you never fully recover for all rest of your life. Regarding "zombies", it is an irreversible personality change we are talking here. And all zombies - veterans in this final stage of PTSD - are dangerous, and potential mine traps. Trip their wire, and the rest is is zombie-autopilot.

It is a wanted distortion of statistics that the military does not count it as a regular wounding or death due to combat action - because then the counts of WIAs and KIAs in ongoing wars would multiply, and the people and media would start to ask questions. It's a nasty disease caused by too much combat stress, too much tension, too much constant alertness, too much fear for one'S life, too much horror having been seen. Many woundings that to be dealth with by surgeons are the less serious woundings, compared to it.

Best wishes, Freiwilliger. Get over it soon - you cannot change it anymore.
