Nobody Helped Me Nobody Helped Stuart We Got Fu*ked Said Fred

From Gold Rush. Vets talking about coping with losing all their friends they served with in Afghanistan, and thinking they might die today, each and every day. What it does to them.

40% of their class of medics are dead. They were slaughtered. Their words.

Too bad they feel this way. We can afford bombers for $2 billion each but vets feel they got effed when they leave the service with ongoing problems.

Did anyone see this?

1. Don't worry. This will all go away in 2024. Or sooner.

2. The reality tv show about people going to Alaska searching for gold?

Drama and whining increase ratings. Dont'cha know.

3. Vets and their (our) feelings are all over the map.

One vet's feeling: Gold Rush, like any "reality" TV, is scripted by a staff of writers, and roles are portrayed by actors.

Enjoy it if you like it, but don't look for truth or wisdom there.

5. Even "unshiny" metals, like zinc, have mines that rape the countryside
