Late to this but just read Tim Kennedy's Facebook post on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Apparently you just have to "stop being a pussy" if you have PTSD...

 

I'm asked daily about how and why I don't have PTSD. I'm probably the last person on Earth you should ask about this stuff. I have killed kids and women during war. I have seen my friends and fellow soldiers burn alive. My adult life is filled with the things horror movies are made of. I could have nightmares every night or be a medicated PTSD victim if I didn't choose every day to make a difference for myself and more importantly for the men that died to my left and right. I don't give a fuck about how they say we are supposed to heal. I'll tell you how to get better. You stop being a pussy. You get up early and train. You train so hard your hands bleed, and you sweat acid. You train so hard you collapse seeing stars. You go get cleaned up. Have a healthy meal. Look your best, dress nice. Then know that the real work is about to start. Find something bigger than yourself and pour every ounce of who you are into it. If that's your family, be the best father on Earth. If you are a cop, firefighter, or a trash man, be the BEST. Know every law, regulation, or route like the back of your hand. Be the best shot on the force. Be in better shape than every officer in the country, and serve the community like its your reason for living. When you finally get home, be a generous lover then collapse into bed. You should be falling asleep before your head hits the pillow because you worked so hard every moment of the day. Get up the next day.... and start all over again. At some point, and I'm not sure when, you won't need to do these things any more... but you will, because you know you are making a difference. It won't be about you getting better or healthier. It will be about you contributing and giving. It will be about being the best version of yourself, and that version is a baddass that is hard to kill, that doesn't give a fuck about what other people think. You do the right thing because you believe in it. When you finally get to heaven and get to see your brothers, they will high five you as you walk by because you made their death worth something and made your life meaningful. Hell you might even get a little wink and a pat on the ass from God as you walk by. #greenberet #ranger #sniper #oef #oif #infantry #Isis #pstd

I'm sure he meant it in a positive, motivational, Stars & Stripes coloured lovely way...but what a fucking helmet Kennedy is, eh?

 

"Hell you might even get a little pat on the ass from God".

 

Cringe.

I used to think the whole Army thing was for publicity to help him get his name out there then I followed his twitter for abit. He is insane. He was tweeting his home address to ISIS telling them he will kill anyone they send.

 

He is completely obsessed with the US Army and fighting. He really has a screw loose.

Yeh i read the PTSD thing, i genuinely think he means well but surely there's a little more to it than just manning up and getting on with it.

 

What happened to Kennedy's show about looking for Osama Bin Laden or whatever it was?

It was the 130 odd year old Hitler, who somehow faked his own death and fled to Argentina, while lots of Nazis did flee to Argentina or other places, pretty sure old Adolf would have been noticed and even if he wasn't, he would have died before 2015 anyway, obviously the show was cancelled.

The next season is going to be on netflix, shame Tooth is out. Seems like a pain in the arse but he's entertaining TV.

Jacare Souza vs Luke Rockhold 2 is happening in November on a Fight Night in Melbourne, Australia.

 

Great fight. And by process of elimination, I guess that means we'll be getting Weidman vs Romero as well. I guess whoever wins most impressively out of Jacare/Rockhold 2 and Weidman/Romero will get the shot at the title after Bisping vs Hendo is done and dusted.

 

The interesting thing is what will happen if Hendo beats Bisping and retires.

In that case, I reckon Jacare/Rockhold and Weidman/Romero would serve as informal semi-finals in a tournament to crown a new champ.

 

Knowing Hendo though, he'd likely win the title, decide not to retire and challenge Cormier to a champ vs champ fight.

 

Crazy old bastard.
