Aversion to Memorabilia and Flag
I threw away everything related to Army including patches and pictures and coins that I’m able to for now (not my uniform and gear) and didnt even keep my great grandfathers ww2 helmet or medals which I previously valued as a family heirloom and connection to him since I just couldn’t stand the sight of them. I also got rid of anything camo colour or even green or tan in regards to clothing. Can anybody relate to this? I also despise the sight of the flag and got rid of any shirts I had with it on it even if it were say a small part of a collage of things just so I wouldn’t see it or have it including a thirteen star one I previously valued. I no longer enjoy movies or Books related to war or military things same with museums and battlefields like I used to as a history lover and I don’t even want to play video games with military outside of sci fi or distant past contexts. Can anyone relate to such a complete rejection of symbols and things that bring memories to mind? Needless to say I can’t wait to leave and throw away all my uniforms and gear I keep as well as the lame ETS award I’m sure I’ll be given from unit.
