Sons in the military

Yes I have to make a change to this for the meer fact that not only is the military distroying one of my son's, oh and I havent first said why i am angry about jonathan in this article only in my other article angry mom. Well here goes:

Jonathan was sent back to afganistan after coming home because he was diagnosed with Post tramatic stress disorder and other problems due to the fact that he was blown up 3 separate occassions and just couldnt handle life after pulling people he had known and worked with from blown up vehicles. Well because of this and because Jonathan was suppose to ETS from the military anyhow he was going to be discharged, well then the troop numbers were down and they made all of those soldiers go back to afganistan he had to go. Well being as he was suppose to be discharged in november, he is over in a country fighting a war. (That we are never going to win anyways. These wars have been going on since the dawn of time.) He has no benefits, He has been erased from the army computer, He is not getting paid now for over a month. His properties are going to be reposed because of the military. So everyone says this is common to happen and the military will fix the problem. WELL FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM. TAKE CARE OF MY SON.HE IS BASICALLY A CIVILIAN IN THE MILITARY WITH NO PAY AND NO BENEFITS.

NOW THE OTHER PROBLEM:

I have another son James, well James has had a few problems, mostly just when he was in Iraq for his year, his problem mostly was just the family separation issues alot of soldiers have with young marriages. He almost lost his family after returning home. He really wished he had never went into the army because he loves his family, however, he has not had any problems at all. UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son is being charged with a stupid charge. Something about joining the army under fraudulent papers. Well I can say this, When my boys joined the army, They joined because their father was once in the military and he was on his death bed. I think they did this to make their father proud of them. He was proud of them no matter what. I know alot of moms say this but, My boys are good boys,They have never given me problems, they are outstanding children and love their family and they take real good care of their family and never in their young lives have they ever been in trouble with the law or never been in serious trouble period.

This charge is because the recruiters in Bwk. Ga. Lied to the army and did fraudulent things to get these boys in the military. Not only mine but other children in that area as well. This is what it is about. one of them James had a GED from the state of Colorado, Well the recruiter told him, wouldnt you like to have a high school diploma instead of a GED, my son said sure. So he went to Savannah under the direct supervision of his recruiter and took a test at a school that the army paid for and he received a diploma so they used that instead of his GED. Now almost 4 years later all of a sudden they are charging my son with fraud against the Army and it is the Army's fault, I won't even get into what can happen to him except the worst thing is prison time. Now my son had nothing to do with the way he entered the army. He didnt do the paper work. He has not frauded the government he has done his time and done his time well in the military, never doing anything wrong to get disiplinary action on him. He is an outstanding young man and I am proud of him. He has served his country and served it well. People beware if your children are going into the service. Look over everything if need be get an attorney to look over the paper work. This is serious stuff. Once they are in the military owns them. You will never be able to help them again.

I HAVE 3 SONS ALL OF WHOM HAVE GROWN UP AND JOINED THE ARMY. THEY HAVE ALL MOVED AWAY. THIS SADDENS ME DEEPLY. I AM SURE ALL MOM'S FEEL THIS WAY. I WOULD RATHER THEM BE HOME AND MY SMALL LITTLE BOYS AGAIN SO AS I CAN PROTECT THEM. I GUESS ALL LITTLE ONES HAVE TO GROW UP. THEY HAVE ALL WENT OVER SEA'S. HOPEFULLY THEY WONT HAVE TO GO AGAIN. NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED, HOWEVER THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE LASTING EFFECTS OF THE WAR.THEY HAVE ALL DONE EXTREMELY WELL ADAPTING TO MILITARY LIFE. ALL OF THEM HAVE MARRIED. DOING WELL WITH THEIR SPOUSES, SOMETIMES LITTLE SPATS BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS TRUE WITH MOST MARRIAGES. A COUPLE OF THEM HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. I LOVE MY GRANDBABIES TOO. LOTS AND LOTS.

Alot of these children or should I say Men and Women have been diagnosed with this condition. I myself do not like seeing these children suffer like this. I dont believe they get the care they deserve and I do believe that this is so bad because these children, yes children, are being sent over to other countries and these children aren't ready for this. They see things such as violence that they have never been exposed to their whole life.

Some of these children have never even seen a weapon or handled one except for the ones in the military. Then when it comes time to use it, the weapon, the whole world looks down on them and repremands them for doing their jobs and what they were taught to do. So, they are not sure what to do. Their young minds are so confussed.They are scared even when they say they aren't. God Bless them all. www.militaryconnection.com.

This is my son James, he is my middle boy, he has 3 of my grandchildren, and is married to ashley. They live out in Oklahoma. He has a rough life sometimes. Sometimes satisfied with the army, sometimes not. But I guess that is life.

This is Elmer my oldest son. He is a SGT now, he lives up in NewYork with his wife Shawna. He is really enjoying army life. He has one of my grandchildren that is Josh. He goes to school alot and grips sometimes, but for the most part he is very happy I would rather have him home though.

This is my baby boy,not my youngest child though.Jonathan has problems. MY son came from Afganistan with medical problems due to him being shot at,blownup, and other things if that is not enough. I am very upset with the military because he doesnt get proper care, he got punished becasuse they had to bring him home and other reasons. My son is just a baby still. He is married and doesnt have children yet. He is happy with that part of his life. Get this now, they want to send him back because they say they dont have enough people there. It wouldnt be so bad but they havent even helped him mentally. He use to be a happy,funny,never hating anyone, loving child, now he is withdrawn,sad,depressed,filled with hatred, and he doesnt interact with alot of people even me. That is how withdrawn he is and he jumps everytime he hears something loud like a bang. I hate that the military wont take care of my baby. And I cant do a thing to help him. Maybe I should write the pres. ok. Will that help I doubt it. Comment if you would about this I would like outside opinions

This is all of my babies back in the year 1995. So young and innocent. I wish they were this young again so I could protect them.By the way I havent mentioned my daughter she is my baby, Danielle, She will never be able to be in the military. You can see her story on my page raising a child with leukemia. http://hubpages.com/hub/raising_a_child_with_leukemia

Look below this is a group photo unfortunatly Jonathan wasnt there he was in Afganistan. Leave it to the military to keep families apart. I dont know when we were all together at once since there father died of cancer in Dec. 2004

This is my beef with the military and the government. My son Jonathan. Went into the army. Just a kid out of High school. The army says they will take care of your children. Is this true. Not to me. My son is suffering from POST TRAMATIC STRESS DISORDER. he was blown up in a vehicle. Hummer I do believe. 3 different times. He had to pull blown up bodies from the wreckage of people he knew and worked for and with. He was just a baby. He has been shot at and has had to shoot at others. He is a basket case. He has night terrors. He blacks out. He is sad depressed and I dont know what to do. He was sent back from afganistan because he was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety attacks and having blackouts. When he returned home they didnt treat him properly. DO you know what they did? They just sent him back. My child is not right and they sent him back to distroy his young mind over and over.again and again..Why cant people just get along with one another and quit fighting.He is my baby boy. I have 3 there. Another son of mine was almost messed up because of his family separation problem. Jonathan was suppose to be out of the army ETS in sept. it is now. oct. He will never be able to live a normal life and they just keep messing up his mind. And they dont care about these boys and girls one bit. Alll they care about is there numbers. They say the reason he had to go back is because there #'s are down. It doesnt make sense to send a person back if they cant even live normal here in the states. comments please.

When your children or , any others close to you for that fact, make sure you take the time to write them as much as humanly possible. This is very important. They get depressed when mail call comes and they do not receive mail. Make sure you keep them up on family and local events and just in general, what is happening in the world because they are so confined and they dont get this information unless it comes from you. Make sure when you send them stuff in the mail it doesnt contain items they are not allowed because it will get them in a lot of trouble. Even if they arent expecting it.

Dont be upset when you dont hear from them because, alot of the time, they will not be able to use communication devices. Most of the time it all is mail. And send them lots of stamps. Lots and Lots. Pictures are extremely important to them too.
