>Evan Wright, the National Magazine Award-winning journalist and longtime Rolling Stone contributor whose reporting on the Iraq War served as the basis for the book and television series Generation Kill, has died at the age of 59. Wright’s wife confirmed his death to Rolling Stone. The cause of death was suicide.

I kid, but in all seriousness, boredom is probably what killed him. He doesn't appear to have published anything of note in the past 12 years. I'm guessing his career pretty much plateaued and he was depressed about it.

Unironically a mega-happening akin to 1914 might have pulled him out of his rut.

The world would be a better place if everyone realized just how much how you were raised determines who you are as a person. Genes + your formative experiences = 90% of your core identity. People can't fundamentally change, they're basically locked in by their teens. They'll change their opinions and behaviors but all will come from the same immutable history and hardware.

Yet anyone can have kids and raise them (or fail to raise them) however they choose. The world you inhabit is a failure because of generational failure.

I did some volunteer social work in my twenties (homeless youths) and couldn't hack it. The people you were trying to help often ended up being as shitty as the people that raised them. Told myself that even if we can't undo what's been done, and even if people can't change, maybe we can still make their day a little better. Get attached to a kid that was raised in a dog kennel until he was ten until he goes and rapes a mentally disabled girl. After a while it gets kicked out of you.

I'm not him but I can buy it on some level. Not all mental illness but some definitely is. Anecdotally I can see a certain mental trait inherent in my grandfather on my mom's side, my mom, and in turn me. And the way he was raised, she was raised, and I was raised all differed greatly. It's delusional to not think our genetics have some major impact on our thinking it's just a question of amount. Certainly it's not 100% predestination, but it's more than just some 5% nothingburger.

>>62077512
The best it can make you do is really appreciate and consider how fragile a good life and upbringing is. Why some people choose to stop the cycle of abuse by either not having kids or making a herculean effort to not abuse their kids in turn. You also have to be willing to turn the empathy off at some point or you burn out and become bitter and hostile.

Generations and generations of regression. Feedback loops of failure. Kids raising kids.

A lot of left/right American politics boil down to the democrats want to help the unhelpable and fix the unfixable and the republicans want to get rid of them somehow. Like, yeah, clearly the long term solution was to not have had a garbage fucking education system for the last several decades thereby failing to intervene and the most critical point of the developmental cycle, the only time you even hope to have a chance, but we don't have a time machine, so what is to be done now?

What do we do with the abased? They're here, they won't just go away, so only focusing on long-term solutions that only take effect next generation is only half of the equation. Easiest thing in the world to invent positive feedback loop systems that on a generational scale produce positive outcomes, not as easy to deal with ones already spat out by the old system.

Our melting pot has poison in it and both sides keep stirring. Whole fuckin' world's run by POGs.

GK made me want to join the Marines because I was retarded and wanted to do moto shit, I got rejected from MEPS due to 'The most fucking retarded thing I've ever seen' according to my ex-MEPS recruiter, but I gained life experience. I wanted to be 0321 and ended up meeting and spending time with an ex-recon guy who made me realize my short comings were not the fault of anyone other than myself. By proxy, Wright taught me the value of personal responsibility and to discard the excuses others/society had burdened me with.

>>62080487
One of the hardest things to do sometimes is convince people to actually listen to you. Especially when its a complicated and technical problem because even if you start going over their head and education a lot of them don't tend to want to admit they're wrong, or go back over a subject when it's something they need to know about. At least that was my experience in terms of getting treatment for PTSD due to war experiences, otherwise they just write you up some stuff for anxiety, tell you to think happy thoughts and just try to be normal, have a nice day.
Plus there's degrees of issue
There's rarely a scale on a wall were you can point to a single problem and go 'I'm about there' on the 1-10 degrees of fucked up, often there's another 3-4 problems on top of that which come in to compound a larger, more obvious one and if you don't untangle them first, then the problem still remains. When my long suffering psychologist retired I was asked if I wanted a reference to another one and basically I had a think about it and said no. Why? Well I'd have to spend another 3-4 years explaining to another person why I'm a bit fucked up before we even get back to ground zero of were we are at this point and I just don't want to go through another 3-4 years over the same path.

I've had health issues for the past two years which are supposed to be of "psychosomatic" origin and they may very well be, who knows, but I am in Germany and as far as I know mental health is being treated slightly differently in Europe than in the US. The point is that even here I can absolutely subscribe to the part of medical personnel simply acting as if you're just a lunatic or not taking you seriously, same for a lot of people around you.

my state is actually pretty good about working on long term improvements / childhood interventions to stop criminality, childhood nutrition etc. shit just makes sense, cheaper that way since it pays dividends down the line in terms of reduced prison costs or whatever.

problem is that the second you start to improve things, you get people coming from all over the country for welfare. Like what does it matter if you make sure the local minorities are fed and get scholarships if other states just dump their degens on you. Can't close the borders since that's cruel, but keeping them open is just as cruel for the local downtrodden. idk.

used to be a lot more empathetic when I was younger, realize a lot of people are just unfixable and need to be permanently removed from society. have open air drug markets just down the street now. place is turning into another Portland and it's depressing, as this city would be a green paradise without all these degens

So many third worlders around. they just don't know how to exist in a developed nation. Always a new cohort every decade. Congolese, Hmong, Karen, Ukrainian, Somalian, Oromo, Ethiopian, Khmer, Burmese, Thai, Kurd, Palestinian, etc. just an endless torrent of more desperate people.

BoB is a veneration of the heroes of the last great war. GK is a realist, ugly depicition of an invasion from the ground level, featuring soldiers of whom many were cynical about the conflict they were thrown into and their leaders' motives in doing so.

In 2014, he pled guilty in an Arizona court to molesting the daughter of one of his friends who around 12 years old at the time. Two years later, a California court found him guilty of molesting two of his stepdaughters when they were children and was sentenced to 45 years (later downgraded to 30).

Sixta is 64-65 now so he's going to be spending the rest of his natural lifespan in prison.

Band of Brothers and Generation Kill aren't really comparable.

One is based on a book that a proto-Boomer (actually he's from the Silent Generation, but I digress) historian, who already has a sketchy record for accuracy and plagiarism, wrote, lionizing his childhood heroes. The other was based on a book written by an investigative journalist who was actually there, reflecting on events that had taken place less than five years earlier when the show was made, with input from the actual veterans, nearly all of whom were still alive, one of whom (Rudy Reyes) actually played himself.

Don't get me wrong, Band of Brothers is a good book, but it's very much slanted by the fact that well over half of the men of Easy Company who survived the war were dead by the time the book was being written in the 1980s. Albert Blithe was no longer alive to clarify that he did in fact survive the war. Joseph Liebgott was no longer alive to clarify that he wasn't actually Jewish. Herbert Sobel and Norman Dike were no longer alive to defend their reputations.

In short, Band of Brothers presents a sanitized and to an extent, romanticized, perspective of World War II, whereas Generation Kill presents a far more complete picture of the Iraq War.

Having been in during the Gen Kill era, and doing my own bit in 04-05, can confirm it is the single most accurate depiction of the military at the time every penned. Everything you'd think "must be satirical" is dead on accurate.

And desu I'd bet the boys from E.co 501PIR were far more like the boys from Gen Kill than BoB illustrated. BoB is top tier, and I love it, but it was defintiely written with "dignity" in mind, as opposed to the raw reality of being a teenager/20 something in combat. It's goofy, irreverent, terrifying, hilarious, and generally full of insane shenanigans just like any group of young men away from adult supervision. That's been true since Homer.

>>62076946
Bad childhood trauma cascades throughout life, so even if you could somehow get over the original event, the damage it has caused has already caused later issues that cause problems of their own.

>as opposed to the raw reality of being a teenager/20 something in combat
Yep, actors in war films/shows are consistently much older than the real young men they're portraying, especially putting older actors in leadership roles. Damian Lewis for example was 30 during the filming of BoB while the real Winters was 24/25 for the bulk of the depicted time. I liked the Jessie Eisenberg-looking motherfucker who played Fick, he definitely captured the look and demeanor of a young officer, but even he was actually born only one year after the real Nate Fick, so 4 years older during filming.

>>62089792
The longer you live, the more it stole from you. When you're facing 60, you ruminate over where it all went wrong, how the damage was never repaired and only left to fester and infect other parts of your life. Shit sucks.

>In short, Band of Brothers presents a sanitized and to an extent, romanticized, perspective of World War II

>the church scene in ep 7
>webster's rant in ep 9
>all the scenes of comrades turning up dead during R&R in ep 10
and there's a bunch of examples like that. the first half is awesome, but the atmosphere of the second half is what elevates BoB to being one of the best TV shows ive seen.
after reading With The Old Breed i dont think any amount of acting, special effects or makeup can capture the horrors of war. might as well use war as a platform for depicting interesting themes and atmosphere.

>>62090112
addicts come into doctors all of the time claiming to be a war journalist who wrote a popular book which was the inspiration for a popular TV show?

>>62090218
Yes. If you rolled up to the average city doctor and told them all about your escapades in Iraq and your awesome book, they'll think you're a nut. If he'd mentioned a specific drug (or even worse, pronounced its name wrong), they'll think he's an addict too. And the doctor will be right 95% of the time.

>>62090250
so the conclusion we can draw from your statement is largely the same as mine (doctor's are ineffective at treating this type of PTSD/other more nuanced mental issues) but you just stated yours in a way that justifies it for the doctors?

ultimately, if doctors didn't want to deal with so many addicts perhaps they should not have prescribed oxycontin for backaches and xanax for coping with life back in the 90s and 00s?

yeah, doctors do help people when the person's problem is on the checklist. yeah, they belong to some sort of fraternal brotherhood that does actually respect "first do no harm." At the end of the day though, their ultimate motivation is money and sating their gigantic overinflated egos. In order to get them to stop over-prescribing addictive medication, legislation, procedures, and, observational organizations have had to be created. How big was that Purdue lawsuit again?

These were massive mistakes with huge consequences that affected and continue to affect everyone in the US, and you'll find no disagreement from most people, doctors included. (Involved) suits and labcoats probably think their only mistake was not getting away with it.
>their ultimate motivation is money and sating their gigantic overinflated egos
Nobody hates money, and some doctors overprescribing opiates (now, often because they're afraid the patient will file a formal complaint because they didn't get them their dilaudid - a sometimes futile request to deny because the next exhausted retard will prescribe them their hit anyway) does not in anyway inflate anyone's ego unless they had a fetish for getting people hooked on drugs or something like that.

I will ask for one concession, in my original post I was simply commenting on a screenshot of a text message this guy had sent where he expressed frustration at finding a doctor that would listen to him. That is about as much information that I have about this guy, other than what any other American would know about him.

I can relate to that personally and I find it sad so that is what I said.

>Specialties exist for a reason. Doctors aren't medieval sawbones. Modern sawbones and quacks won't treat you any better either.

No argument here. Although, I am under the impression that this guy was seeking treatment from doctors trained to treat PTSD and his frustration arose because they were not effectively treating his unique type of PTSD. Its not like he was just showing up to walk in clinics expecting the attending to know how to handle things.

>These were massive mistakes with huge consequences that affected and continue to affect everyone in the US, and you'll find no disagreement from most people, doctors included. (Involved) suits and labcoats probably think their only mistake was not getting away with it.

Although I think there is some merit to this statement, to assign all of the blame to the business part of medicine is extreme. The reason "Doctor," is an elevated position in society is because of the responsibility they bear within their profession. To think that the majority of doctors made an honest mistake at the behest of the evil suits in over prescribing medication is asinine.

Everybody covets success, nothing really wrong with that. The problem arises when someone is dishonest about their intentions. I feel doctors often are. Honestly, not sure how we ended up on the subject of drug-seeking behavior. Was this guy a perchead or something? Either way, in the US at least, all of the doctors working in the pill mills were not doing it for ego, just pure money. Each doctor is an individual and there are plenty with ethics as straight as an arrow.

The opioid/benzo epidemic can causally be linked to MDs over-prescribing medication in conjunction with large pharmaceutical companies encouraging the practice. At the time, there were plenty of doctors who did not do this because throughout the course of medical training to become a doctor all of them learn why this is wrong and some of them put that into practice.

>>62091103

BoB has that soft and fuzzy tone to it that takes off a lot of the rough edges of war with a bit of hindsight and people being either kinder due to emotions having subsided or some degree of correction to make things be a little less shitty so no ones going to think poorly of someone for what they did. Its a bit romanticised to some extent that some of your buddies were not homicidal maniacs, the officers were not all retarded and we survived being deep in the suck with steely eyed determination without anyone going completely fucking bonkers.
GK doesn't have that
So for those of us in that age group its a degree of pride that when Iraq kicked off, we saddled up, didn't necessarily agree about being there but for a lot of us it wasn't our first deployment. Even a comparatively young shitbag like myself at the time had done two peacekeeping tours in Timor and been in the Afghan invasion by then so I knew what I was doing. Often we didn't do things well, we made do and complained a lot but we were not some straight out of basic scrubs that had been driving tractors one day and decided to fight Germans, Japanese, Koreans or Vietnamese the next.
As funny as it will sound- we were professional military.
We didn't give a fuck about the enemy, his religion, politics or what he thought about us, it was all business in that we'd been given a job and just went and did it better than anyone else before us had done.

I got really lucky in that she was very qualified and experienced enough to approach problems from multiple angles. Like everything from career, hobbies, family relationships and actively working to eliminate those problems I had adapting to 'what normal people do' when their life changes. So I have my checklist of things to do and work through when I start struggling trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.

Make everywhere as good as everywhere else.
It's literally the long-term solution.

Stamping out serbian-style ethnic conlicts, putting ziggerish proxy shit-stirring out of business and peacekeeper patrols to maintain order and quality of life in disaster zones the rest of it

No easy solutions of course but it's not an easy problem
