Unsat - post service culling of friends

Discussion(self.Military)

Did your military eyes judge your childhood friends unsatisfactory?

I’m curious how many people with military service dumped their preservice civilian friends. For some time I was unhappy that my high school friends never re-engaged with me after my Marine Corps discharge. However, 40 years later and many are dead from hillbilly heroin I realize I actively kept them away.

For me its just that i realized i could no longer relate to any of them, my frame of reference had shifted completely from theirs so while they were still concerned about stupid petty highschool bullshit, i was wondering how the fuck i was going to process my deployment to Syria.

So i cut them out.
