What an exceptionally brave young woman you are one of life’s unsung heroes. Never give up!!!

Gina I understand you completely I am an army veteran myself I served from 1981 to 1984 did my last tour on the west German border you are a survivor and you should try to think you made it home there's a reason why God wanted you to make it you are a hero thoughts and prayers with you have a wonderful week

You hang in there, young lady. It will get better. When the horrors of war come to the forefront, think of the good times, especially the funny things that took place with your Army friends. That bond you have with the men and women you served with is still strong. Join a veterans group, any group you can, that has been where you are and talk with those other veterans that went through similar events or perhaps even worse, and it definitely helps to talk it out. Best of luck to you and I want you to know that your service was and is appreciated ! From a former veteran myself, I Salute You!

God bless you girl. You are loved

Sorry hon. Sorry u went through all this. Ur R best & bravest!

I love you for being strong!

I got shocked watching GI Jane and the abuse she suffered at the hands of people above her in rank and I prayed for every woman in the military and miss please forgive yourself please because i think if you can change your mindset and not dwellin the past youll be better but tyvm for sharing because you can help others just don't let people take your kindness for weakness and yes your life is worth it because youre beautiful and intelligent and obviously stronger than many others and you lift up others through inspiration

Everyone commenting missed the opening text that the lady is an actor and the story is fictionalized?

I really feel sorry for you for the fact you had to experience those things in life. I once heard of a vietnam vet being in a budhist retreat. I think perhaps it might help you. the fact is: suffering is part of life, but what we don't learn is how to accept it and change it so we can feel free instead of being in pain. just saying...hope it might help. take care brave woman.

*This story is fictionalized and does not reflect any one survivor's story. The survivor is portrayed by a professional actor.

How could they be bringing freedom to Iraq if there is no freedom here. i can't even drive a car because the law stops me.

Yea, not good trying to do sométhing you think-justify-wish should be positive and you end up a child killer / secondary victim. You also realize who the real victim is. The one who told you what really happened, did not have the manhood/gumption to keep it to himself. Not a worthy a-buddy but an a-hole.
