Ep. 0162: A Modern-Day Grunt's Perspective, Part 4

This is the final conversation between CJ & US Army Veteran BT about BT's military service and his ordeals since getting out. (Please excuse a little bit of minor audio issues. As you'll hear, we had some sporadic  Skype hiccups, as well as a slightly-longer-than-usual delay, probably because BT has moved since our last conversation, and is now living a little more in the boonies than previously.) Join CJ & BT as they discuss: BT's physical & mental health issues since leaving the Army, and the problems he's had in trying to get adequate help from the Department of Veterans Affairs (or VA)PTSDHead traumaBurn pits & Gulf War illnessHow BT's experience in the Army and dealing with the VA have changed his views on many things, and his overall take on his military experienceWanna meet CJ and ? Come out to the 2018 Midwest Peace & Liberty Fest in Delton, Michigan!
