Heart of the Show: Suffering in Silence - The Military’s Hidden Epidemic

from I Like Birds Podcast · host Zach Rippey

Patrick Boyter, a retired Army soldier who served in Iraq and experienced firsthand the devastating cost of war—both on the battlefield and after coming home.Pat opens up about a horrific day where 200 women and children lost their lives. But the battle didn’t end there. After leaving the military, he struggled with losing his identity, purpose, and the harsh reality that many soldiers in his unit took their own lives—because they were taught to "suffer in silence."This conversation sheds light on the mental health crisis among veterans, the hidden struggles they face, and the search for purpose after service. We also unpack the miracle it was of him being stationed and deployed with his twin brother!Share this video everywhere. Give a finiancal blessing to I Like Birds HERE!
