    I’m not sure what you mean with “I am” but i’m a veteran and have been through a lot of bad times. I’ve always been concerned about the military. I’ve always been concerned with how military has portrayed the world. That’s the one thing I have always been concerned about was it’s role in the wars. I’ve always been concerned about the military being portrayed a bunch of shit. I have always been worried about my own future. I’ve always been concerned about my own welfare. I’ve always been worried about how many Americans I have to fight for (and I think I have been over all of them). Most of the time I get angry, then try to get mad. I get angry in the middle of fighting. I’m always worried about the future, and that’s the one thing that I have always been worried about. And the wars are a big part of it. I know how it is to fight on multiple fronts and make people forget about it. It feels like I’m losing my mind. I’m not sure how to deal with this anymore.

      I don't think you're a veteran. You're an ex-Marine Corps combat veteran. Training for a combat mission wasn't as easy back in the day.

      I have more questions in mind, so I’ll ask\n\n1) What is a military training course? Can you help me?\n2) How do I get through a general audience interview?\n3) How do I get through a media event?\n4) How do I get through a radio interview where I have to say something interesting?\n5) How do I get through a TV interview?

    You may have noticed some inconsistencies in the article. There was a discussion in /r/AskHistorians about a reason we need to change this sub to have more threads. The author mentions that some recent converts to Hinduism have had to go through this whole caste system. The author goes to great lengths to explain this by saying that the notion of “Hinduism’s caste system” is not really a concept. We don’t have one system but people who can’t get married and have children are expected to have it in their hands. This is a little weird. We have a large percentage of non-Hindu males (50% of the population), women (8% of the population), and non-Hindus (3% of the population), and it is not just caste that is involved,it’s the general concept. There is no caste system in the military,so no,it’s not just what’s happening in the war,and not just to the people that have it. The author mentions this in the article too,but then again,this author has used the term “Hindu” because it’s a term for people who are not fully aware of the terms.

      Not really. There were a couple of guys in my platoon that had been combat vets for a while while, and they started working together as a team. But we became friends after a few weeks.

    I am a former Marine Corps Combat veteran from the marines who has recently returned to the faith after a traumatic military service and the fact that many of my friends and family members came to Jesus in the last year. I would love to have our community and community support another former soldier who is seeking to return to God. It’s hard for me to give these three advice to the people I’ve known more or less for a long time, yet I have to come to you. I’ve been going to church and reading the scriptures for a couple months. I’m getting ready to do a class on Jesus’ life and death and how it differs from what you may think you know. This subreddit is a great place to ask questions and learn from you all. Thank you for the support!
