Do you believe 100% of that?
No not really I do think the guys had a troubled life since he has returned and people may not understand him. I believe its the typical joe life style where you hit a patch and then grab the bottle for awhile. Failing marriages are common in the military especially towards the Infantry. Seen a hundred times while in Drum.
The hard part people forget is that we went away for a year or more and came back a little more matured and observed from a place thats completely different from what people do daily in the US or western nations. So while we may be a little different we aren't completely in crisis for having a different mindset. Its just some have no willpower to control their actions.
Then the outside likes to view it like its a major problem about to blow and overreact to it causing it to flare more than it needs to tbh.
Lots of people didn't understand me when I came back because I didn't want to go get smashed at parties or how I couldn't be completely at ease being out in places so to them im the odd one out but to me I cannot fathom how people cannot comprehend that I had other interests at the times than being cut loose. Yes i still have my fun but its on a different mindset - really weird takes being in an out to understand. To me it seems like people chase their thrills to get a rush and find it weird that I don't wanna do the same when i've already done that "HIGH" people look for fun (not drugs but a sense of thrill or accomplishment)
I don't like seeing my fellow brothers down but it happens often and people who know him and his vet buddies should be reachin out to police and help him get back on track just the same as you would while on duty together. I've helped a few vet buddies I know after I got out and hit the cycle of civilian life ball again. Learned rough hard ways but doing so provided great life experience to help others come out and cope to readjust without many issues. Even helped one of them get out of jail for being overly charged for a domestic situation (long story short the gal wasn't all there in the head and the action of my buddy didn't help the situation but it was completely blown out of proportion and he served hard time for a number of years).
