ever experience in relation to the other country Tyga up with Martin Luther King

King and Bobby Kennedy in John Kennedy assassinated within 6 months

months of a truther November Mayer something like that in a relatively short time frame

we lost 3 very prominent people in this country

00:36:40

and our children never had anything like that until 9 11 and then

that attack with on our own soil in one of the biggest cities in our nation

I have no doubt that influence a great many of the young men and women who

who join the military in response to the 9/11 attacks the US invaded Afghanistan

canesten 2001 to the soil cutter and Capulets leader Osama bin Laden

00:39:00

number of people who have personal interaction with people the armed forces in veterans is

is a fraction what it was was a problem most people don’t know somebody that’s currently serving

serving in the military or even somebody that has but I think today

today you go back to Vietnam we had no internet no satellite

television with three television networks any the news we got came

came from the front came back of Thomas developed was aired

everything was time delay today if you can watch does the rights of Siri

00:39:35

Syria in Cairo real time you can watch a movie on skype

is so I think people are much more aware of what’s going on in the world

in the world today at least superficially there where they they can be worse they want

how to touch with it I don’t think they want to deal with the fact that people have families

they scream when they are hurt just like us people don’t think

really think about that I think that they don’t want to believe that they think

does the US has a magic wand can drop bombs in people start calling elections

is not the way it works since World War 2 the United States

States military has evolved constantly changing its policies regarding race

gender and sexual orientation the integration of women into the military

for the sample is taken decades in the ban on women in combat was only lifted

did in January of 2013 even now women face unique challenges

is the woman were in our own barracks room at the barracks for was coed

when we were together when were together like I said every reason every gender work together pretty CMAs

00:40:45

good you know what I mean when a woman want to hang out with man there was a lot of

we gotta stick together ladies at that time there’s a point competitiveness to make sure

sure that no one was going to be lazy because if there is one lazy woman we will get pain with

when was the same brush to there was an idea that will have to fry extra hard in computer

do to prove herself define nationally that women veterans are more likely to

I have a higher incidence of post traumatic stress disorder there’s also the

is something that because women cannot serve directly in combat in the end

00:41:20

the infantry and things like that there’s an assumption that there shielded from the violence but the word

who were not the case we have women who are flying helicopters for dry

driving trucks that get ambushed her that hit IDs in so there’s a lot of trauma

that women are exposed to just like male soldiers also a frilly higher

Lehigh Raiders what’s called military sexual trauma the military has always traditionally been a very

very masculine institution in to be a woman in a traditional masculine institution has

has a whole set of challenges and barriers my experiences that it really comes down

00:41:55

come down to your units leadership tell if you have strong leadership in a unit

infer that kind of conduct with a female in charge of all 18 in the mouth mean

contact without a finding a way to overcome that we can still accomplish the mission

send while still trying to be respectful their cultural beliefs what is a bit challenging

00:42:30

lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people have also faced and continue

continuous face you need to changes in the military in 1993

the United States adopted the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy which prevented

openly LGBT people from serving in the military this policy was discontinued

discontinued in 2011 wizard lonely sometimes when you define the other game

what was really difficult pression is the biggest symptoms of

masculinity mail oppression I wish I could say what will happen

pretty prickly transition sure thing for starting to change while I was in

but in general is a hostile environment mystic chain

00:44:15

change some branches in certain pockets on military will change what is a good thing

nobody likes women in the complain they raise health

sometimes war has an irreversible affect our family we just felt like I do

00:47:10

God was just so take care of Jessica we didn’t realize it was the war that it was not

Mayan god Pan actually with an October 7th

seventh and it was a Thursday morning my husband work for Mr cuneiform and he gets up

already left and didn’t

the right and my first thought was a hoe

what is the time and then I remember that my son Joshua have a friend

exactly the day before and had scared me on that moment

00:47:45

I had given him money do not do that do not ring the doorbell you come running

Oregon

I could see where to buy my phone so I can see through the door we had a window in there and I

and I saw the military by mediately probably dad but I kinda creeped out

down in the answer and they said to me talk to you and your husband I was like no my husbands Homan

how to root a bout that life what you’re not home to work

what we need him here and just tell me is just the dad and Mary

00:48:20

what not I really have a teeny tiny tiny baby hope that maybe you should just

I have not heard this before if your battery that they had to

they had to come to your door turmeric hope that maybe that was that maybe that’s why they work

what time a man by the man and a time to get home to my husband f****** problem

laughter good half hour 45 minutes again I was just like you know I’m not going to call my husband

why they did actually because they can see that the laundry

long do they calculate the worse it was getting a tattoo

00:48:55

what they have to do but I’m sure this is what I gotta do it was a male and a female on and they just

set a specific thing that we’re sorry to tell you that your daughters dad but they said a nice military

fashion way then when I find my husband then he called

even talking on he’s like somebody there in like at Houston

dad like yeah

the military provide

00:49:30

support services for the families of service members killed in action but in the end

family spend their own ways of coping with the loss people want to interview at

Denver memorial services to go to the most difficult thing that we do

we did and tired when I was going to win the home because

and I was really hard

best weed song

who is very important to be there to show that we did not lame and elephant

00:50:05

call many of them she died

feel like they should have died instead

where them into that was when you have to do

for returning soldiers the challenges of resistance

Austin to civilian life Armani the transition can be made easier to the support of the public

Blic one thing is good now is the we have learned to respect or service people

00:50:40

men and women who served country are known as the should be and I see the young people nurses

narcissi holding map of to be honored this very gratify you can imagine what that

what that means somebody like me to see that are society space where young people do on ur

socialserve what is a agree with what country has been doing or not

they don’t denigrate service the people who are there when I first went in

it was just push Vietnam conflict and it was some alot of bass

bad feelings out there and I don’t feel like I was never treated poorly racing

00:51:15

ani Figueroa Street pretty well floppy ears yes I walk the airports myself

myself and I see how people treat soldiers it’s incredible I mean the

does the response to soldiers now I think it’s really incredible and because of

Iraq and Afghanistan I think that for for the most part I think the fuse

is of a soldier is a just just a response XE I was what airport just

I was just talking with lighted she said excuse me and then she said hey soldier

thank you for your service you knowing that type of thing happens all the time

00:51:50

hey can I get your bill and I Thai restaurant or something like that you know and I’ve done it myself

how to help soldiers out I think the responses really good to assist returning service personnel

President George W Bush signed the post 911 GI bill into law the bill

the Bills have eyes comprehensive financial support for education counseling and housing

benefits for veterans well in the state of Illinois you have a colonoscopy Guard grant witch

which pays your full tuition fees at Peter full tuition which is very nice

and then they have something called a GI Bill GI Bill is the federal government play of pain

00:52:25

paying for your education in addition to getting a grant from the state of Illinois for being an ass

National Guard pay for my twitter the federal government offer benefits to help pay for school

112 South Philly I haven’t had to pay much in terms of my medication because of mice

my service service related injury or illness can add to the difficulty every integration

Grayson some veterinary physically when did others may suffer from less obvious

psychological injuries what is post traumatic stress disorder University

va sometimes I would meet with a veteran and I would say

00:53:00

Glenview been back 18 months Mk why do 818

18 month did anything happen when I just got my 3rd DUI or my wife just left me I just

punch through a car window in cut off my hand what I was seen as it was a lot of

lot of trauma in unfortunate events that took place and then now they’re going into

into getting help with a need so I really think it’s important to a dress that before

before these types of tissues buildup I would like to see the resort

somewhere to something that you would find in Cancun in make it mandatory that already

00:53:35

all returning service number to come home would have to spend at least 30

30 days getting massages going to counseling doing yoga

Yoga coming down from whatever experience they had

before we release them from active duty and even before the Wii released

families but I think that’s where I’m seeing the disconnect is

is that when they come home and when I came on me then it’s such a fast

fast processing your so tired it takes many many months later on

00:54:10

before you start a kind of start dealing with certain things veterans

support services on college campuses all around the country have been improving in developing

being in order to make the transition to civilian life easier I think that 11

what is something that comes out sometimes is that we think about Iraq and Afghanistan

Tanner any war it can be easy to immediately focus on the negative like

like an in and I’m not trying to minimize at all things like post traumatic stress disorder traumatic

traumatic brain injury but I think sometimes we hear Iraq and Afghanistan my car

00:54:45

my colleagues with think of you I want to fist person is okay if they have problems into a mediately

mediately there can be an assumption that is how to spray traumatic arrest experience

can send but think that’s important but I think that we also want to make the wear of all the good things

veterans bring that they contribute to the diversity of the campus that they have a lot

a lot of life experience and you know they’ve done some pretty amazing things the young age

how to weaken of build off the strengths rather than just focusing on the deficit

wrote the 20th and 21st century’s the military is affected the lives of Newman

00:55:20

numerous people from central Illinois including those featured in this program DaVita

DaVita do you need experience feeling a variety of rules in the military and on the homefront

despite the hardships that come with military service in the supporting those who serve most of the

most of these men and women feel the thinking something worthwhile to the enforcement with the armed forces

they have changed the military in the military has changed them I would say that the millage

military gave me a slice in an experience of life that a lot of

my peers haven’t had necessarily inside you feel that is giving me wisdom in the Sun

00:55:55

signs of being able to travel being able to serve in a war zone being able to work in a lot

alot of Justin trysting place is interesting climate interact with interesting cultures

cultures site I do feel that there instrumental experiences of c** out of

of the time that was translated the wisdom

creepypasta think woman gave still have a long fight ahead of them softly with N

in the structure the military and certainly when they’re veterans and civilian world

always going to have to fight for the benefits when I think about the military experience

00:56:30
