My take was simply that a man that has made it to the marines can hear tough words and take them in stride. It's like when we can't lift the bar on the bench and your spotter says BUCK UP BITCH, then that sudden kick of adrenalin and testosterone sinks in and you raise the bar you thought for sure was going to kill you.
That may not work for him. Then again it might. Everyone has a take on what to tell an individual that is having a hard time. Some people need strong words, some people need a shoulder to cry on.
He has your post, and he has mine. Whichever one helps him the most is the one he should take in stride.
Either way, yes Mr. Anon, you must rebuild your life. You have lost, and you will gain, and the cycle of ups and downs will continue. We all deal with it. Here's hoping you can deal with your's.
