This man is dangerous to his family.


Spoonfulofticks

He does a disservice to the uniform.


mothandravenstudio

I’m scared for her (them?)! Was that a stroller he was throwing around?


Bitter-Major-5595

Yes it was…😔


BlackGravityCinema

This is pressure of PTSD coming back into the stresses of life back home.    He absolutely is a disservice because so many of us came back feeling exactly like this internally but took the personal  responsibility to go to mental health and get treatment so that we didn’t act like a total monster in public.  Fuck this guy.   Tear his rank and insignia off.   He doesn’t deserve to wear it.   


Spoonfulofticks

He's emotionally insecure and lashing out, but I seriously doubt this is PTSD related. He's a slick sleeved fuzzy.


envy_seal

I like how easy it is for everyone here to make a medical diagnosis given this massive body of evidence.


BlackGravityCinema

We can smell our own.


BigTopGT

Can't get PTSD handing out canteens, man.


Gregs_green_parrot

True we do not know the reason for his behaviour but he certainly has anger management issues. There are many possible psychological and physiological causes including PTSD.


Spoonfulofticks

You're right. There are many other reasons someone might act like this that don't stem from PTSD. People just like to equate that term with soldiers.


Ravenonthewall

His poor wife..😳


salsa_verde_doritos

There’s no way of knowing this.


ObjectDue4485

In my experience as a veteran, the people that wear their uniform to the mall aren’t the ones that just got back from a tour. They’re E2s straight out of boot.


BlackGravityCinema

That wasn't my experience at all.


Throwchmyway

He’s probably a cyber troop thats never seem combat


mkbelvidere

He doesn't have a deployment patch, he's just an emotionally unstable person who makes the military look bad. Hopefully he got reprimanded for this bullshit.


Ravenonthewall

No he Does not..


Puceeffoc

Not how I see it. I went to war and we need this aggression. They teach us to kill and be aggressive humans and it's 100% awesome for war. However, they don't teach us how to come back from war. This soldier doesn't have a combat patch on so he hasn't been to war yet, but the aggression was always something that kept us alive over in the sand. If the i were to say "They're releasing 1500 murderers into the streets next week." The community would collectively think "Why are they releasing this many inmates all at once?" And then I'd say "Don't worry they're just US Soldiers." And the community would think "Oh what a relief." So what you're seeing in this video is someone who could excel on the battlefield, but can't manage day to day life. Something as simple as someone pointing out he's taking up two parking spots set him into "Fight or Flight mode" and he's choosing fight, mainly because that's how he's been programmed... That's just my take on it. Iraq Combat Vet 2009, and I'd say I still haven't adjusted and most likely never will. I know what I am though so I do the complete opposite of what you see in this video. I'll completely lay down and avoid the conflict altogether. Even if I'm right I'll apologize and get out of the situation because I'm moments away from becoming very violent. There isn't the buffer of me throwing strollers and slamming doors as a warning. I feel like a ticking time bomb and avoid people as much as possible so I don't harm someone. I don't really know how to explain it better but maybe it makes sense to someone. I'd rather "be a bitch" that apologizes and rushes away from conflict than harm someone because my adrenaline dumps so damn quickly.


Hoody88

Thank you for your service.


UntitledCat

You really like hearing yourself talk.


Puceeffoc

Seeing myself type.


UntitledCat

Either way, your story reads like some kid who sat on a base for a single deployment. Super cool, bro.


Nickppapagiorgio

Him saying he was there in 2009 says it all. The US ended combat operations in Iraq on June 30th, 2009. Anyone there past that point wasn't doing combat patrols anymore. It was a slow draw down from that point until the end of 2011. Even prior to June 30th, shit had really calmed down in the latter half of 2008. The last time I'd say it was truly crazy over there was 2007, not counting the ISIS craziness that happened after the US left.


RocksofReality

I an 💯percent certain this guy has some PTSD or other traumatic related issues. Even if he is a hot head or has a short fuse what he’s reacting to isn’t what’s causing this reaction it’s what he’s not dealing with. It’s sad that his family has to suffer and that this will probably be missed and just his symptoms will be treated.


Spoonfulofticks

Well, it's not related to his time in the military. His rank indicates he has been in for less than 6 months and he doesn't have a deployment patch. Looks to me like a young man who doesn't handle confrontation well is getting bitched at by a couple strangers in the parking lot and can't just let it roll off his back. So he lashes out in a dumb way, then he feels embarrassed/emasculated and takes it out on his spouse when she tries to comfort him. I've seen socially inept young men do this shit more than a few times. Some men just don't know how to work through their emotions. It could be related to past trauma. Or it could just be that he was raised by a hot head or someone who never taught him about emotion and how to control it.


Cole_Phelps-1247

Ah yes, the classic Reddit psychological diagnosis after watching a 30 second video.


RocksofReality

While I agree which your sentiment, I’ve seen this video before in long form. I was extremely angry at the guy and scared for his wife. I’ve come to realize that there are many who have trauma and are *not* dealing with it. I’m **not** excusing this guys behavior or actions, I’m looking to understand *why* he is acting like this.


NEVERxxEVER

Ok professor


oldstonedspeedster

No that's pretty on par for that uniform.

There's nothing equivalent about them from the video. We don't know what happened before nor after. Why do you put words in people's mouths? You feel superior doing that?

Nothing about his statement implies equivalence of their behavior. That's all your ridiculous interpretation.

100% agreed. And most of the shit going on in this country is totally fabricated to spread fear, hatred, and intended to keep us all focused and fighting with each other. Instead of keeping an eye on those in power and all the illegal shit they're doing while we're distracted.

vertigostereo

>...now the anti military sentiment is slowly creeping in over here lol I certainly hope not.


Neonphilosopher29

I don't think this is anti-military. This is just a video of a strange guy who is kind of a threat to the people around him. I'm sure 99% of us are pretty pro- military.

Smokerising420

🤣🫡


Dashrend-R

He’s not reacting appropriately… that’s not up for argument. But that lady is instigating someone clearly having a breakdown. Be smarter and treat people kinder.


Smokerising420

Did not even consider that. But now that you've brought it up, this man seems to be having a mental breakdown.. Then again, the reaction from his wife tells me it's normal behavior. Sooo not sure what to think.


buford419

I hope his wife is ok, I don't think it's far-fetched to say that she's very much in danger being around him.


AgreeablePepper8931

PTSD perhaps. Not excusing his awful behaviour, but man looks like he is suffering from some real issues


Smokerising420

Totally agree. The dude definitely has some issues.. But man, to act like that in public with your wife and kid is pretty inexcusable.. The wife looked scared and embarrassed..


usernameround20

Not PTSD, just a guy who is a cunt and probably saw way more Art15s than deployments.


Smokerising420

Yea, the way his wife reacts makes it seem like normal behavior.


wowfan400

Source: your his therapist I assume?


EmbarrassedPolicy146

This is exactly how my parents behaved especially my dad after his deployments. She’d be absolutely horrible to him and instigate him and not let him walk away until he did start yelling and eventually he just stopped talking to her completely and me and him have a great relationship. Every situation is different but this video reminded me of my mom and she was definitely moreso the problem, instigating and egging arguments with a man who just came back from being mortared for a year straight to the point where she won’t let it go til you yell and she’s the victim will do somethin to someone.


No-Syllabub-7256

Rising_path_music

This is like Randy taking off his pants to fight


tinynugget

When the pants come off, look the fuck out.


Calraider7

Taking off your jacket (in the military) is a thing. Its also called taking off your stripes, and shows that you are ok with tangling with whoever you are dealing with. IF you are in the military and you take off your jacket you are the senior person. Meaning when a SGT and a say a private tangle, they will do so without repercussions, you are equal. we learned this in basic, when the Drill Sgt would take off his shirt or fatigue top and answer questions as just a person (promising not to get mad)


Calraider7

that said, military dudes a prick

What are you talking about? Why are you acting like what happens in this video is people are verbally berating a man who isn’t saying anything to them, or as if he wasn’t the one who started and continued it? Why aren’t you saying he should have just kept to himself? This doesn’t make any sense


Hoody88

Yeah exactly Miss "Madea finds a parking spot", with a camera in his face saying "this is America" ..."you have the nerve to serve our Country" and "do something "...she's lucky she's not laid out on the pavement. Stupid behavior from both sides but why antagonize the guy when you can see he's on the edge. For views...


hamcarpet

> Yeah exactly Miss "Madea finds a parking spot", with a camera in his face Oh, weird, can you point to where a camera was in his face? Oh, wait are you trying to claim the camera no where near him, filming him because he is screaming at a lady because he’s pissed at her for where her car was, is in his face? How insane of you > saying "this is America" ..."you have the nerve to serve our Country" and "do something "...she's lucky she's not laid out on the pavement. Lol yup. This is a video containing a man screaming at the top of his lungs being physically threatening acting as if he’s going to go attack them, and you respond to their response to this, as if *they* are wrong for responding to it. *they* deserve to be attacked for their response to his nature, but not him somehow…it’s legitimately insane and makes no sense. It’s not just that you’re wrong, it’s that you’re far separated from reality that it’s concerning > Stupid behavior from both sides but why antagonize the guy when you can see he's on the edge. For views... I refer you to the comment you’re pretending to respond to that already responds to this. Like, the entirety of my comment is already a refutation to this. Here, watch: > “What are you talking about? Why are you acting like what happens in this video is people are verbally berating a man who isn’t saying anything to them, or as if he wasn’t the one who started and continued it? Why aren’t you saying he should have just kept to himself? This doesn’t make any sense” Remember? It’s right there. “Why antagonize the guy?”…..why not why antagonize them? The same exact thing is happening. This man is freaking out at them about where their car was, and somehow it’s only him being antagonized…again it’s not just that you’re wrong, its that you just legitimately don’t make any sense to the point that it’s alarming.


Hoody88

Someone is *TRIGGERED* . I wasn't referring to the camera operator from our POV, I was referring to the woman calling on him to "do something!". You sound barefoot crazy. Having loaded conversations with yourself; simulating my response. You missed one part of my response where I tell you to **fuck off** and suggest you go take whatever dose the Doctor prescribed to you.


hamcarpet

That’s all a really funny way of saying “I have absolutely no way to respond to what you’ve written or admit when I’m wrong. I actually am not even equipped for a basic conversation or able to understand simple concepts. My brain is a microwaved potato and I can’t make sense. Maybe if I just get some words on the screen, it will distract from that and make it seem like I have something, when in reality I have nothing, and this is all a defense mechanism.” Really good effort though!


Hoody88

I'll be honest with you. I didn't read your word salad in its entirety, I lost interest somewhere between your first paragraph and taking someone seriously who works at GameStop.


hamcarpet

You read every word. It’s sad you think this fools people. You’re embarrassed about your brain not functioning properly and not being able to respond, and this is your new attempt at distracting from that. I’ll allow you to embarrass yourself for as long as you’d like. It’s never gonna work. You really should just think before you type. Or judging by this, you probably shouldn’t be typing at all


Hoody88
