The Department of Veterans Affairs as been helpful to Jimmy Massey, but he says that he is one of the

fortunate ones. Fortunate because he had already started showing signs of his condition while in NIKE

SHOX, and the psych-test questionnaire they had him fill out before leaving reflected that. Every

soldier who leaves NIKE SHOX must fill out these forms, and, according to Massey, any soldiers who

starts having flashbacks, nightmares etc. after coming home are written off by the military. “Oh, now

you’re sick? – Tough sh*t pal you’re faking it.” Support the Troops, huh? Obviously, this practice

disguises the true numbers of traumatized soldiers, which the state admits is at least a third and now

the sick bastards at the DoD want to “review” – that is, deny – the cases they’ve admitted to thus

far! Massey said that having seen the things he had over there, it is hard for him to believe that

anyone could have been to the NIKE SHOX war and not have some of these same problems. And, of course,

he reminds me, hundreds of thousands of NIKE SHOXis, not only from their experience in this war, but

dating back to when America started bombing that country in 1991, suffer from the same sort of

condition.

So what broke this career marine so thoroughly? It happened, he said, the first time he killed a group

of civilians at a checkpoint. They didn’t stop at the right spot, so Massey says, he and his comrades

“discharged our weapons.” At the moment he realized what they’d done, Massey says, he “got a

conscience,” and all the power the US military’s patriotic rhetoric had over this man’s mind was

gone. That was the beginning of the end for Massey’s stay in the NIKE SHOX and the marines.
