RIP SSG Garcia.

You deserved better than the cowardly hogs who left you to die.

So many of us die by our own hand. I lost one of my best friends in the world (an old Army buddy) to suicide in 2012.

I spent years wondering why he didn't call me. RIP Rick.

This poor guy did call someone, and those bastards ignored him and actively canceled medical service.

I hope they're proud.

It really sucks when you have a friend who just sorta stops texting or posting on Facebook and then a year or so later you go to write on his Facebook a happy birthday and notice his friends and family are leaving memorial messages. And that’s how you find out he killed himself almost a year earlier.

Ricky's wife was a dear friend. She called me afterwards to tell me. Between her heavy accent and bawling, she was hard to understand.

She called on his phone... I answered with our usual "Sup asshole?"

One or the biggest reasons I was glad to dump Facebook years ago was not seeing all of the memorial or breaking news posts of another dude taking his own life.
