Need input from Active Duty Military or Spouses

We have all seen the coverage lately about suicide rates and mental health in the military. Leadership seems to think that having a mandatory “fun day” or giving most bases one day off is going to help this issue...but they’re wrong.

We need to help them understand that there is a big difference between making it look like you care to the masses and actually giving a crap about people as individuals with individual needs, problems, and concerns.

Yes if you are suicidal, you should let someone know and you’ll get mental health help, but after that you go back to work and it’s the same old same old. Nothing changes. Or maybe you are not suididal but overly stressed out or depressed because of your concerns not being taken seriously by leadership.

We need to get your stories, or your spouses stories out there. You can share your story anonymously because obviously you are asked to take up your concerns with the chain of command. But we all know how that goes. You can try and try but you’re never actually heard or cared about.

Now is our chance to all share our stories to help leadership and the higher ups know what is going on and help to actually make a change. Please share your stories below or in a message. No names or usernames will be used. This is all anonymous but they can’t make a change until we speak up about what is happening and where they’re going wrong.

We need stories, concerns, issues, and ideas past and present. Please don’t use anyone’s name and don’t share sensitive information.

He survived a Nazi concentration camp and a Chinese prison camp and single-handedly defended a hill against a North Korean assault in order to allow his fellow soldiers to retreat to safety.

Born to Jewish parents in Hungary, Tibor Rubin was sent to Mauthausen concentration camp when he was 14. Liberated by the US Army in 1945, Rubin vowed to repay the country that liberated him.  He emigrated alone to the U.S. when he was 19, and enlisted in the U.S. Army.  He was still a Hungarian citizen when he found himself on the front lines in Korea.

Rubin's superior was an anti-semitic sergeant who routinely gave him the most dangerous assignments. One assignment required Rubin to defend a hill solo for 24 hours, holding off North Korean forces. Several officers recommended him for the Medal of Honor, but his sergeant refused to put the paperwork in. Affidavits from men in his unit swore that the sergeant was purposefully trying to get Rubin killed and denied numerous recommendations for the Medal of Honor and other valor awards due to Rubin’s religion. Ironically, Rubin's religion motivated him to care for his fellow soldiers when no one else would.

Rubin and other survivors in his unit were captured and imprisoned by the Chinese in the fall of 1950.  His comrades, many of them suffering from injuries, were demoralized. But Rubin knew the drill--he had already survived a concentration camp. "The Chinese treated us better than the Nazis," he said later. Rubin repeatedly snuck out in the middle of the night to raid Chinese supplies, bringing food to his fellow prisoners. Performing “mitzvahs,” or good deeds, was important to him.  He knew he would be shot if the Chinese discovered what he was up to. Rubin is credited with keeping more than 40 American prisoners alive. Learning that Rubin was actually a Hungarian citizen, the Chinese offered to free him and return him to Hungary. Rubin refused.

Rubin became a U.S. citizen in 1953.  In 2002, under the National Defense Authorization Act, Rubin's record was reviewed. In 2005 Rubin belatedly received the Medal of Honor.

I don’t think I’m looking for that top guy. I don’t think anyone is looking for that top guy.

I can't wait until the day that I don't have a loser as a President anymore.

Trump is the loser. Not our soldiers.
