| | | Military Memories Haunt me My name is Dylan. I was formly part of the United States Special Black Ops Forces. I have seen much death and it didnt bother me back them but now i cant sleep at night without thinking about them. I was involved in the end of vietnam, Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis, and many other great time periods. I have many other things to say but i may not because it would be treason for me to speak it since it is Classified Top Secret. I was ranked as a general when i retired and earned many rewards and medals such as the Purple Heart and i was spoke by the president at that time. Please Help me. | | | | | | |

| I am having a tough time believing what I just read by Dylan. Former "Black Ops" members don't discuss their connection to that line of work and I also don't believe that any "General" would have such a tough time with written communication (i.e. simple grammar). I apologize if you are being sincere, but as a veteran with much experience, it just doesn't seem legitimate. Additionally, to downplay another's story or experience is not a common practice of a person with such experiences as the situations are all relative. "Your group" is also not referred to as the "United States Special Black Ops Forces". I also think you meant to say "awards" rather than "rewards" as military members don't receive "rewards" for their actions. If you refer to Black Operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia you will see that "The methods used in black operations are also used in unconventional warfare and includes actions like assassinations, espionage, sabotages, and supporting of resistance movements." This would not explain being a General in command of a unit that killed over 2000 people. That sounds like numbers an infantry division would put up. Although you cannot rely on Wikipedia for 100% accuracy, I believe this is an accurate description. Maybe if you go back to the therapists, you can see them for what you are rather than "what you've done". Once again, if you are speaking the truth, I apologize for my assumption and what you're dealing with. |

| Dear "iferganed",
I highly suggest EMDR for post traumatic stress disorder as well as traditional "talk it out" therapy. Please refer to the website below: EMDR Institute, Inc.
Good luck |

| Hi,
I totally agree with gavin 2008. No ex serviceman of such a high rank would talk in this way and describe experiences using some of the terminology he did. I am convinced this is an attention seeker who insults those who have truly suffered for their cause.
This guy needs help with telling the truth first and foremost!! |

| Hello Dylan:
I dunno. You're not messed up worse than the lady's husband because he only killed ONE man, and you killed more.....
In fact, that's probably your problem. It's really a matter of how you look at it. You DO need somebody to help you adjust your perspective, cause that's all it is.
I too worked for John F. Kennedy doing the things that protected our country. I would say that my efforts resulted in MANY, MANY dead enemy. I don't feel bad about it. In fact, I feel good about it. Not cause I killed people, but because MY guys lived, and if I didn't kill the bad guys, my guy's (or ME) might not have made it.
Thank God for me, and thank God for you.

| Thank you very much for your service! I know it's frusterating the lack of help us Veterans get but there are resources out there. Check with your local VFW bc they do have contacts who can get you hooked up with the right help

| hello general . its nice to read about u and ur post. am a service airforce engineer my self.. not from USAF, well what i suggest to u in this time.. is seek a link with God, one u dont have the black. stip of duty, responsibility and bla bla bla on ur eyes and mind. So now.. use ur mind being neutral, meditate.. and if ur heart has finally become wise to speak the truth to ur self. Make a link with God. there is nothing like ur God or my God , therez only one God in this entire universe. return towards him. and try helping humanity in anyway u can.. as it is the only source of earning peace. For a chance u have killed many and taken many lives. now try helping people live. even if its for oneday..
feed a poor..
help a needy..
say a prayer for those who are in bad deeds..
and most of all. if u can. raise a better humanbeing then urself. in form of a child.. and make him learn to be wise. and wiser then being driven by just patriotism, nationalism and extremism.. make him a good human being for humanity. These are the only deeds that would earn u peace in this world and the world after . dear general. |

| If this post isn't fake, I thank you with my heart and soul for what you have done for our country. The suggestion I have is that maybe you should go to a hypnotherapist. They can hypnotize you into rarely thinking about it (it can't make you never think about it but it would help substantially). You might still have some symptoms but if you go to a doctor or psychiatrist they can prescribe them for you. |

| You're very brave.
If PTSD is bothering you, you might want to check helplines, websites, forums, etc. National Center for PTSD Home
For veterans...
I have one pointless question I want to ask you...
I watched some Vietnam war and other war movies...Do you think it's accurate? Since you're an experienced veteran, I'm interested in your opinion. How do those movies compare to the real thing?
Thanks =) |

| I would ask that you stop attempting to impersonate a veteran and seek help through whatever civilian options you have. Your terminology is ALL wrong and you have terrible grammar and spelling skills. That said, you didn't serve with the unit you claim to have served with (since it doesn't exist) and you're claiming to be a military officer (which you were not).
