Sometimes...

Sometimes when people do this http://globalnews.ca/news/1619464/w.....-is-a-veteran/ I have NO sympathy at all for them. I mean, you have got to be kidding me! This useless piece of shit thinks he is entitled to being called a veteran but did not even freaking complete Basic Training! I mean, seriously, what the hell is wrong with this person?! By claiming he is a veteran, he is insulting the term that is given to heroes who have actually been put in the face of danger. And he claims he now suffers post-traumatic stress disorder. Give me a break! I doubt his drill instructor (not Drill Sergeant because Canada does NOT have Drill Sergeants) was threatening to kill him. You cannot get post-traumatic stress disorder from Basic Training! It's nearly improbable!
To quote even the most simplistic source about PTSD from Wikipedia: "Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) may develop after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events, such as sexual assault, warfare, serious injury, or threats of imminent death." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posttr.....tress_disorder) And more importantly, there is also this: "Most people having experienced a traumatizing event will not develop PTSD."
It is almost impossible to claim that a traumatic experience that is non-life threatening or does not result in serious injury as post-traumatic stress disorder. And who the hell in their right mind takes that much medication?! If anything, this guy is only a pill-popper who is now completely gone to shit in the mind. And if you think I am attacking the guy, he is bullshitting the whole story. If you go onto his Facebook page, there are pictures of him smiling on a boat back in 2012 made public to everyone. As many other disgusted, enraged people stated: if you have PTSD, you are not smiling nor are you having a good time!
To conclude, if you cannot pass Basic Training, that is not your superior's fault at all. Basic Training for the Canadian Forces nowadays is NOTHING like it used to be a decade ago. They teach you teamwork and get you combat-ready. And if you happen to be medically discharged from it, it's to keep your ass safe because the enemy would not sympathize with you for the slightest second!
People like this DISGUST me. He has NO right to call himself a veteran. If anything, he is looking for a government paycheque because he was a failure at joining the military. While actual retired members of the Canadian Forces are fighting to get medical benefits, this tub of shit makes headlines news and will most likely get his benefits... for simply being the biggest pussy ever.
Seriously people.
WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. SERIOUS. FUCK.
I'm done ranting about this whimp-ass pussy.
Fuck him and fuck everyone like him.

I know of an old CO from the reserve here in Windsor that was a known 'wife beater' by brass (back in late 70s early 80s). He hit his wife in front of the entire platoon during a parade ceremony -- then was found pretty messed up in a dark alleyway a few weeks later. Brass looked away of course (finally having enough of him beating up on subordinates).
Sounds to me like the guy never even should have passed his medicals, knowing how tough it is to even get INTO the CF. Not on huge amounts of pills like the article claims. Same goes with people who break legs and arms tripping over stones (as their feet miss). Then again undiagnosed mental illness is hard to admit when your starving and are forced to go into the military...
Then again unless you lose a limb in battle or your heart stops beating 'PTSD isnt real' to anyone and is reguarded as a 'cop out'.
There is always welfare or disability (if he can kick the drug habit) unless you belive people should be starving in the streets when they cant fit into society <<.
Then he finally cracked and took a hatchet to his foot, was charged with "dis-credible conduct", refused to plead "medical distress" told a captain off (royally) then was sentenced to 15 years solitary at the court martial (again because of cowardice and refusal to stand up to the DI's physical abuse)
They let him out after 10 days and a fellow unit member under an 'oath of secrecy' managed to get his sentence "commuted" to a dishonourable discharge.
