This video depressed me because of what he went through. After he came back from war he felt different. He had mental problems that no one helped him with. He almost commited suicide the first week of war, but luckily someone saw him and started yelling at him right before he pulled the trigger.
After he came back from war, he lost his wife, his old life, and joined a biker gang. He joined the biker gang to feel like part of a unit again just like he felt at war. Everyday he would think about war. When he went to Washington D.C. to speak with a representative about how to treat war veterans but the representative didn't have time to speak with him.
If I was in this situation I don't know what I would do. I would probably look to my family for help or get therapy. I don't know what it would feel like to be in this situation but I know some of the things he did, I wouldn't do. I hope more people would start paying attention to war veterans, and I think all high school students should be required to watch this video.
