Simply "seeking help" from a psychiatrist (who can treat a patient with counselling for example), is a whole different kettle of fish than the need to be put on anti-psychotic medication. So I'm not asking about just being treated by a psychiatrist per se, I'm asking about the ramifications of someone within the Army’s Special Operations Command requiring (and taking) anti-psychotic drugs. It would seem like a disaster waiting to happen. |

That used to be the rule... but it changed around 2012-2013 when they started having a more open-mind about mental health (to include medication). I can't remember how many forms I had to fill out where it asked if I'd seen a psychiatrist... and then if I felt I NEEDED one and didn't see one, and then one about whether or not I'm on prescription medication, and then whether or not I failed to take it.

Believe me... I don't. But I get that vibe from "left leaners" a great deal. I pretty much "live and let live", unless someone tries to smash my toes.
But a lot of libs (our Miami resident comes to mind) are like "my way or the highway", and refuse to even discuss in a rational matter, and start calling names (again... like our Miami resident).
When they hear something they don't like but can't refute, they either go ballistic, change the subject, or just shut down and block that person.
I get that there are some conservatives that are the same way, but it's primarily libs. I don't shut anybody down, simply for disagreeing. Unless they're just a complete posterior orifice.
So, what about my questions? (Even ignoring the "enemies" question. Although the absence of compassion for the blown up vet ("One less Trump supporter is fine by me.") would seem to speak volumes.)
Again... why do you think someone would want to twist the circumstances. On the face of it, it's just a Trump supporter who "nutted up". Most Dems probably just consider that "business as usual".
What do you think?[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 01-06-2025).]

Yes, that "left-leaner" lib here who for years has posted the following in thread after thread after thread is rather tiresome to say the least.

Hey, it would certainly be preferable for a Trump supporter to simply put their X in a different box when voting, rather than making a spectacle of themselves, but why are you singling out me for an "absence of compassion"? Please point out to me anyone in this thread who has expressed any compassion whatsoever.
I've been trying to get to the bottom of this story because it makes no sense. I've derived no pleasure from this alleged Trump supporter supposedly committing suicide. I want to know the truth behind why someone died in that Tesla, and why it was done in such a manner.

That is true because it is true.
He only posted that after posting a good opinion.

I noticed he hasn't posted much of anything since his last favorite whipping boy died. Coincidence, I dunno.

Because you implied that, in so many words. Nobody else in the thread has been compassionate, I suppose. But I was talking specifically about your "one less Trump supporter" comment.
But I'll let it go.

Again, suicide, by definition, makes no sense. If someone is crazy or disturbed enough to do that, then most anything else that they do becomes much less surprising, IMHO.
I'll give the video a look when I have some time. There have been lots of things going on here, since before Christmas. I'll spare you. But it's winding down, now.
It's supposed to be bitterly cold and miserable (at least for Georgia) for the next few days, so that may afford me some down time.
But I've got to tell you, I don't place a lot of credence in reports of "re-directed gravity" or other similar stuff. (I don't know if you've ever heard of Col Thomas Bearden, but he was a big "free energy" proponent. Fascinating man. And fascinating stuff to read about, but I'll actually believe it when I see it. I'm almost 68, and haven't yet been privy to that demonstration, even at my age. So I don't hold out a lot of hope.  )

Some folks will seek out anything from any source to support their agenda.
Most of us spend way too much time on the internet (I'm guilty also, trying to cut back and do productive things) but some folks go way overboard.

Raydar, you're being reasonable, so I'll volunteer to add a bit more to this. Taken out of context, yes, the part you're asking about/quoted sounds rather cold... but if you go back to where we had the original exchange, you'll see that I was just basically running with your comment... "It obviously would be irritating to the "left leaning" persons who are listening. (Am I right?!)". I was giving you what I felt some Trump supporters would think that all "left leaning" people might say. Keep in mind though that "one less" supporter (whatever their political stripe) doesn't necessarily require them to die. (ie X in a different box when voting) However, I then went on to say what my more sincere response was. "...the only "irritating" part of this story to me is that it makes no sense".

I don't disagree with that at all... but if you watch the video, you'll no doubt see why the whole story is so bizarre, for reasons that I suspect you're currently quite unaware of. Among many things, it'll bring into question whether the Green Beret was actually suicidal. It may also allow you to more fully understand why I posted "I don't know what to believe anymore" after watching the video!  [This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 01-07-2025).]
