Great Chitter Chatter - Stories from Loud Voices

Being a hero of war is not an easy thing. You are putting your life on the line for your country every single day. Not only could you lose your life, but you could possibly end up wounded without being able to provide for yourself or your family. Just the thought of these ideas is enough to cause someone to have a nervous breakdown, but for troops who have to endure them, it can all too often be too much. That is why soldiers are extremely at risk for PTSD. Many soldiers then take the step of trying to cope with PTSD, instead of seeking help. They do this through a variety of methods, but most of them end in addiction.

The Air Force’s official mission is “to fly, fight, and win… in air, space and cyberspace.” In order to keep achieving this goal, they must keep up with the development of Airmen, technological warfare and integrating operations. This helps the Air Force maintain air and space superiority, which ensures the enemy, cannot make a sneak attack on land, sea, air or space. The advanced technological warfare allows the quick, precise attack if it should ever become necessary, with time not adding to the list of enemies. The ability to react and respond quickly in any given situation maintains rapid global mobility.

The Air Force is also superior in obtaining information that is necessary to create plans based on a given situation with, as previous mentioned, absolute precision in all of their activities.

The person who experiences a PTSD episodes could be thinking that they are in an entirely different area, country, or situation. You need to try to calm them down, but avoid confronting them. They could be experiencing a flashback and try to attack you. It would not matter if you were their mother, they will continue to attack you until their episode ends. You need to also realize that sometimes it can be a trigger that causes the event to happen. Most of the time it is not going to be an out of the blue occurrence, something will make them snap back to where they experienced stress or a horrific situation.

Secondly, Airmen are taught “Service Before Self.” They are taught to act selflessly and follow professional procedure before satisfying personal desires. In the most minimal scenario, this would include following all of the given rules, maintaining and composing respect for others and exercising discipline and self-control. In particular, Airmen must maintain control of certain aspects of their life, such as anger, appetites and religious tolerance.

Iraq

22 SAS carried out a series of reconnaissance and direct action missions during the allied invasion of Iraq in 2003. After the fall of Saddam’s regime, 22 SAS committed a squadron-sized element to the British-controlled city of Basra in the south. Another squadron was integrated into a Combine Joint Special Operations Task Force based in Baghdad. This task force, which has gone through a number of monikers such as Task Force 88 and Task Force 145, was a mix of US and UK Special Operations Forces. The SAS element was known as ‘Task Force Black.’ During its period of operation, Task Force Black was responsible for a number of successful operations against Al Qaeda and the insurgency. These include rescuing British peace activist Norman Kember from kidnappers and neutralizing suicide bombers and Al Qaeda leaders. US General David Petraeus, the then head of US forces in Iraq, praised the SAS’s role in the country, saying: “They have helped immensely in Baghdad… they have done a phenomenal job.”

It has been reported that the SAS is no longer active in Iraq, having switched focus to Afghanistan, where it has joined the Special Boat Service (SBS) in it’s ongoing fight against the Taliban
