Veteran’s Story: Classic case of PTSD, seemed fine, was doing well in his profession and in life in general when suddenly he left us. I pray his pain is over as I hope mine will be someday. As a footnote before Keith started his downhill slide he seemed extremely anxious about M.I. and some C.I.A. involvement. (Keith was an M.I. officer!) My buddy Keith seemed the last person to take his own life- I know because I knew him from age 6 on. I suspect some “outside” influence in his tragedy, so if anyone has any hard intel on M.I.,C.I.A., D.I.A. etc. involvement in these cases I would like to know about it so I can treat these cowardly spook and REMF punks to a real live Lrp raid. Payback is a bitch, especially from me.Gary (Wildman) Hall Americal Lrps
