I joined the Marines in 1995 and left for boot camp in May 1996. I have a combat tour in Kosovo (1999) and Iraq (2004-2005). I attained the rank of SSgt in just under 8 years and was ostracized from my unit, 2/10, when I started exhibiting signs of PTSD. I was diagnosed with "personality disorder" after 11 years of outstanding service to this country and medically discharged with severance pay when I should have been medically retired. The wars that I fought and that my friends are fighting right now are unjust and illegal. I am 100% against the present operations in Afghanistan and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize how unjust and illegal it is.
