re: Julian Jones took his life today.

I'd like to say that I've never thought of taking my life, but the thing that kept me from doing so during my last 2 deployments (really rough years) was knowing what it would do to my wife. Conversely, I knew that if it was my day to go that she would be taken care of.

Sometimes if a particularly large amount of shite rains down on you, you get overwhelmed, and sometimes wonder if things would be better off without you.

I don't know what pushed him, but everyone's trigger point (pun not intended) is different.
