in my job, seen struggle first hand 💔

I don't know, some seem to handle it better than others...my brother will never be the same..my boyfriend just goes with life..he opens up with what he can and I see relief...but i know that some areas I can know where he was but not what years or the mission. Both of them marched in Al-Fallujah. Both have secrets...both arn't the same

depends on the context of the "secret".(🤨 ambiguous) and ones own morals ..self medication is an option, drugs booze sex..whatever is the thing that works🤷‍♀️ IDK some prob do.

I'm thinking that when you KNOW the full extent of the horror, that the idle chat with normies, (that I find almost intolerable), is perhaps a relief.

now the we know governments are criminal enemies, they should all be talking freely

I have no clearance.

Over the years, I have known things that weren’t in the wild, simply by being in situations where they appeared to be common knowledge, but…not so much.

I can’t even count the times I got blasted for saying something that I thought was obvious, only to find out I’d wandered into TS areas. 😬

How am I supposed to know it’s TS? I don’t have clearance.

All this to say. I find it very difficult to trust just about anyone. I never know who I’m really talking to.

No.

My buddy just retired after 40+ years as a CW5 from the Army and has had boots on the ground at every major conflict I can recall. His story is that he's been down in Virginia teaching, uh?, since '17 or '18, but my gut is telling me otherwise. I hope he can open up now that he's out. Interesting that he's done now??

No. They compartmentalize everything. my husband said he wished he didnt know what he knew. He had a Q clearance.

People with *security clearance need to talk more..
'Military in the know' need to be blabbermouths
Senate/Congress members need to spill the beans
all those captured/sent to GITMO--video confessions
with blubbering, crying, sniveling---------------------
this is War..this is a whole lotta crap for many..BRING IT FORTH

Probably.... LOL😉🤣

🤪It's Friday Martin - overthinking for the week is over........ done.... fertig, færdig, klaar, Aucun

What if they have been siloed and don’t actually know everything they think they might know... and still think we are nuts? The war is real.

This has somewhat happened to me even with the limited information i have. I used to be able to slowly lead a person into a conversation based on my belief that they genuinely don't know. Now i just don't have the patience or the will to take baby steps with people and sometimes come across as crazy or gone astray to them. Time will tell who was in the right though.
All i can do is act correctly according to God's law and let things be, I learned this the hard way.

Back in the day, Naval Investigative Service (NIS) were known as (unofficially) the *queer hunters* … as that was their main job. (Exposure/ Blackmail)

Later they changed their name to NCIS, and, thanks to a great TV show (of the same name), they reinvented themselves. 👍🇺🇸

I’m about to go nuts and I don’t even have a security clearance.. no joke

No.

yep, i feel that they would to a degree. not being able to talk about things can make a person feel like they're going crazy.

😆Lol, what a conundrum. 🤔

IYKYK

Sorry I don't have that clearance. lol Sorry showing myself out of the convo.

🤔Yeah. Truth.

Not yet.
