drawn from the airport in the district of Dhubab, and in areas along the Red Sea coastline.

According to the latest we are hearing from the Houthis, they are advancing militarily on the city of Aden itself.

This is a major development from when the conflict first began three months ago. It started with the Yemeni government forces in control of the majority of the southwestern region. Now the Houthis are the ones standing in control and are threatening to advance even further to take over the city of Aden.

According to some of the reports we are getting now, the Yemeni government forces are withdrawing their forces and are trying to reorganise and recuperate on the outskirts of Aden in order to try to prevent a potential attack.

6 years out and I still can’t watch fireworks with my family

154 Upvotes

Not sure why I’m posting this here instead of just keeping it to myself like usual, but I saw a post on this sub last week that got me thinking and I figured maybe some of you get it.

I did two deployments, 2014 and 2016, nothing special, I wasn’t some op­erator or anything, just infantry doing infantry things. Most of what I remember is boredom honestly. Hours of nothing, cards, bad coffee, dumb arguments about nothing. People think it’s constant action and it’s really not, it’s like 95% waiting around and 5% your brain doesn’t work right anymore.

The 5% is the part nobody tells you sticks around. I’m fine most of the year. Then July 4th rolls around and the first pop of a firework and I’m on the ground behind my own couch before I even register what happened. My wife doesn’t say anything anymore, she just waits. My kid is 7 now and I think she thinks that’s just what dads do.

I got out in 2018, used the GI bill, got a normal job, normal life. Therapy helped more than I expected it to, not gonna lie I was real resistant to it at first. The VA waitlist was its own special kind of hell but I got there eventually.

Anyway I guess I’m posting because I don’t really have anyone irl to talk to about this stuff who gets it without the weird pity face, and typing it out to strangers who maybe understand is easier somehow.

Anyone else have a “normal” trigger like that? Not asking for advice, just wondering if it’s a shared thing or if I’m just wired weird now.
