Accept no substitutes. What civilians see on movies and TV is just an actor trying to be as awesome as Veterans, truth be told, even encountering us in person is simply an act...
Then, you turn on Vet TV, and you stop smiling and laughing with us, and start wondering what the (Eff) is wrong with us? All the while, we are laughing out (bums) off.
THIS is the real deal, to everyone else, we are honorable ambassadors to our nation. Between all of us, we are rude, crude, and have mastered over 10,000 ways to creatively use the ‘F’ word...and we are incredibly good at it. Welcome to reality, where inside that ECP is a land of wonder, imagination, and a bunch of disgruntled and hilarious sadists that would as soon dropkick someone down the barracks hall and drink, rather than tell them they’re good friends (cause that would be H-0-M-0 AF)
But, there is something positive under all this, brings awareness to veteran Suicide and other pressing issues, encouraging viewers to reach out to a buddy and help them laugh and remember when times were simpler, and maybe that laughter they have, even if it’s short, may keep them away from the edge, the demons that so many of us brought back with us and live with every day.
Much respect to the people behind the scenes that made this channel happen, they have a subscriber for life.
