[susannpatton]

I have severe ptsd and never once thought of doing that.

[waterlily]

My heart goes out to all veterans who have given so much for their country and received nothing in return for their loyalty, blood, sweat and tears for their country. America needs better resources for their military personnel. God bless all the military members who serve our country. 😢

[smrk]

8:35 How did you have steel barriers for 8 years and not know about it as the Police Department Superintendent? That’s unacceptable 😡

[adamwestbury]

Our veterans do not get the proper support from health professionals who are trauma informed and able to do the proper somatic practices it takes to heal the nervous system from PTSD.

[larryfromwisconsin]

I am sorry for the pain of the Special Forces Sergeant. Many soldiers and veterans fall to suicide.

[bernardocisneros]

From my experience, only good hearted people suffer from PTSD. The jerks; the ones that don't GAF. It's no big deal to them. I know because I'm one of those jerks and nothing phases me. I was in the Marines and served in the Middle East. I came back the same way I went there. Mentally and physically. If you have a son, daughter, niece, nephew, cousin, or friend that has a good heart, cares a lot about people, and is thinking about joining the Marines, the Army, or the special forces of any branch, please talk them out of it. Convince them not to join or to join the Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, or the Navy.

Anne Kirkpatrick needs to RESIGN. She didn’t know about the barriers or the security reports. There is no excuse for that kind of incompetence.

[Lamin_G]

Is there *no connection* between Shamsud-din-Jabbar and Matthew Alan Livelsburger? I beg to differ. First, let's go through the uncanny "coincidences":

1. They both served in the military for more than a decade.

2. They both were at Fort Liberty, though not together.

3. They both crossed state lines to pursue their life-ending missions.

4. They both divorced and struggled with their remarriages.

5. Friends and close ones of both veterans say they would never have guessed they "were capable" of their actions that made headlines.

6. They both carried firearms and explosive devices.

7. They both rented electric vehicles through the same rental organization.

8. They had different messages; however, they both made social commentaries about their alleged grievances.

Most of the above are coincidences, but there is one solid connection: the military!

[santos]

It is disturbing that the city had those barriers in storage since 2017 on top that the report showed clear weakness in the streets.

[Sam-vnhd]

Says he don't hate Trump but blows hes Truck up at a Trump resort.? I think it may send a different message.

[tuwanacrosby]

Not using those barriers while clearly stored should amount to termination of the person in charge, heavy fines, and a jail sentence.

[joserafaelgarciamorales]

Thank you LLamas thank you Lester and please take care of yourself and each other good night 🌉 NBC 🇺🇸

[adambees]

I get all of the News I need from the Weather report.

[GlennHeston]

They said there's no connection between the 2 terrorist attacks.
Yes, there is. The connection is that both men were delusional. One from emotional and physical pain, and the other by his religion.

[Allen.Fepuleai]

New Orleans police chief needs to be fired for incompetence

[JonathanPhan-yhds]

It's deeply troubling to hear about the recent events in Las Vegas and New Orleans. The discovery of messages from the suspect in the Cybertruck explosion and the warnings of potential copycat attacks highlight the serious security concerns we face. My heart goes out to the victims and their families in both incidents. We must remain vigilant and support efforts to prevent such tragedies in the future.

[sayittomyfaceidareyou]

I have got to tell every soldier and veteran in the US if you're feeling the government and leaders have let you down I just want to tell you that many people including myself so appreciate your service and sacrifice. I would do anything to help a soldier. Please talk to someone about what you're going through and don't go through it all alone. And please whatever you do don't take it out on innocent defenseless people. ❤😢

[MrDogonjon]

Ironically the design of the cyber truck is very similar to a garbage dumpster.

[bayoubabe]

Did I really hear one of the top dawgs say “I didn’t know we had them but we do”!!??!! That’s a pitiful statement-why have the new barriers been sitting somewhere for years????

[dfattyadams]

If alcohol can cause cancer, it absolutely should come with a warning.

Be safe everybody.
