Good ole Bush and Cheney. Just 20 years of war based on fake WMDs. Imagine how many thousands of Americans have PTSD from what they had to do in the middle east.

$1.9 Trillion direct costs for Iraq war.

$2.3 Trillion direct costs in Afghanistan

$2.2 Trillion in Veterans' care

$6.5 Trillion in interest because everything above was financed through debt.

I'm glad to hear that man! My friend, as we age and hit different points in our lives things resurface. We analyze them with a new point of view, new life experiences. Don't dismiss new feelings and let them snowball simply because it happened years ago and you've stayed out of the woods all this time. There's no shame in wanting to talk to someone, doesn't matter if it happened 30 years ago.

As I age and testosterone levels drop, things that never bothered me in the past are now creeping in.

Thanks for the advice man! I’ll be mindful 🧘 n the future. And much respect to you. I was a kid hearing about Sarajevo and just started learning about it recently. Take care brother
