Yep.....sorry. Its Chickenhawk, all one word. Didnt know about the pedo reference. Its a pretty stunning book in its simplicity. He choose Chickenhawk cause he said that when he was flying into a hotzone to rescue troops he flew like a hawk cause men depended on him but all the time he was terrified and scared like a chicken.
Hi @tonto. Cool, never knew that. Thanks for the link and will check it out. Gonna go through that Combat Rescue series first and then have a look. Somebody mentioned a docu about a danish team in afghan in 2011 but cant remember name at the momment.
Nothing more nervous than when u knock one of the girls over
The Danish one is called Armadillo, its good I liked it.
He is absolutely right about the bond, in combat you only have each other, you sleep next to each other, eat with each other, play/work/laugh/cry with each other. You aren't worried so much about the war but taking care of your brothers and trying to keep them safe and you trust them with your life and know they are watching your six (back). But once you get back to Civilian life that adrenaline doesn't shut off, I still dream about it every night with out fail, and I rarely speak to my old friends I served with although there are a couple I still keep in contact with and one shot himself I guess life after war was to much for him. He was a crazy bastard for sure.
I can only imagine @md. It must be tough experiencing life at both extremes's......from the combat experience to the Civilian life experience....it must be hard to find a middle ground.
Sounds rough dude. Nothing beats a hangover like a good sleep and a few dubes. But drinking in this type of weather just melts my head. I cant handle heat when sober and with a few beers its a nightmare. Then again, this is from a recovering alco so my views on drink are a bit warped. Funny thing is though, when the sun is splitting the stones on a nice weekend I still think that pint of cider/cidre with ice in the backgarden is to die for, even though I hated cider/cidre when I drank.I was out at a 30 birthday party last night.
My head feels like its split in fucking half !
Im an Irishman who isnt afraid to say "i hate drink"
Lovely weather thou
hehehe....I wish I could be on here more. I have a shitty 2mb adsl line, so its either laggy from doing work stuff, laggy from the kids on Netflix or laggy because the wind is blowing from the southeast on a Tuesday and I am wearing my blue jumper. I dream of a fiber connection.
Glad to hear the seedling is doing well
Hi @irish. What you up to today?
yeah there is lots of places for "wounded warriors" that are free and the VA Hospital points you in the right direction then its up to you to get the help. I currently see a psychotherapist.
