But GA stood out as an utter failure last year and this year. For once, FL isn't the state the ****ed up voting.

GA is an utter failure on many levels. I’m not just saying this. I’ve been there plenty of times and speak from experience.

They got fried food down to an art form tho. Credit where it’s due.

Just found out an old friend took the easy way out. He was about the last person I expected to do that. Always happy and really self confident. I haven't seen him in 30 years. I guess a lot can change.

My best friend from the Army was the same way and he checked out in August. It's mind boggling why people would do that....

So sorry about your friends.

It’s a tragic epidemic that no one seems to know about. The Services are all over this from the top down.

Only because the leadership gets reamed for it even if they can't spot it or stop it......

It’s not just a military problem. Depression and suicides are up nationwide in the last year and it’s being pretty much ignored.

Sorry to hear about that
Back in the 80s a good friend whom like you said showed no signs of depression bought a 4x4 jeep (he was a Chevy man) and drove up north over the bridge and around lake superior and into Canada as far as he could go until he was stuck in the mud, got out and walked as far as he could before he turned his gun on himself
Crazy world we live in - until we don't!
