well i just thought i would post this here cause one of my favorite knives was taken. its just kinda going to be a rant and i appreciate everyone listening. i know everyone hates a thief but damn really praying on veterans at the veterans hospital, lets get it the f@#$ together america

so today i had to go the the VA to get some tests ran. some shrapnel in my leg has begun surfacing. It's not bad yet but enough that if i run my fingers over the area it can cut me. The doc wanted to see if it was time to take it out. well you can't really take s@#$ inside the VA hospital's so i leave all my kit in the truck. i go in do my thing. doc says hey grunt it's really better to just leave this piece in for now and let it work it's way out a bit more before we remove it. He says just try not to run your hand over your lower thigh for a couple days and it should semi cover itself with a scab/new skin whatever. he was much more technical than i can be as a dumb grunt lol. I say cool right on, i am out of here doc. I walk out to my truck and see my f'in window has been busted. i say wtf. son of a bit@#. i look inside the truck and it seems either I or someone else scared them off but not before they took my radio and izula with scales and custom sheath with a fire steel holder. i am thankful they didn't get my gun or my go bag but at the same time i don't have a lot of money (lol really no extra money at all after life stakes its claim) and a 500 dollar deductible is a bitch. so i call the police get a rpt ect. blah its gonna cost me about 400 bucks or my 500 dollar deductible to replace everything including the window. either way i am shi##$ to say the least. I have been saving up for 2 months for a damn junglas and the new izula 2. but i guess now life decided my money was needed else where in the economy. i just have to cover this bull shit now no matter what i wanted. this comes as a need since winter is coming. i mean wtf, i just can't fucking win. either way thanks for listening.

i hate to complain because every time i go to the VA i see so many other veterans who gave so much more than i did for our country. and i remember all of my buddies who came back missing arms, legs, and gave the greatest sacrifice of all, their lives (may they rest in piece and never be forgotten) and i still have all of those things, but damn some times life just has to kick you in the nuts to let you know your alive i guess. again thanks for listening ESEE. I appreciate it and hope everyone is having a much better day than me. i debated posting this cause i hate to complain but at the same time everyone needs to vent sooner or later. well at least i still have my health at this point and am still breathing, one day i will get a junglas and a new izula now.


again thanks for hearing me and putting up with my post/rant. again hope life is treating the rest of the esee folks better

Hey bro, I just preordered the Izula II. If I win the Survival Contest, I'll send you the one I win.

I try to help out fellow service members whenever I can and what better way than with an American made ESEE knife.


Of course this is dependent on me winning. But I busted my ass, so I think I have a shot.
 
hey 11B......I got a little something coming my way soon as well as a few extra items here at the house you might want.....PM me with your details.

I give back to my brothers in arms when they are having a hard way to go.

I am a 19K reservist. Been in since 94. Let your brothers give back a little.
 
I feel for you, the broken window is worse than the radio and Izula. People like that will get what's coming to them in this life or the next. They have no integrity and could care less who they're stealing from. Most important thing, I hope your wounds heal the best they can.

i apologize i try my best on the forums to be professional and whatnot but lol i am not the greatest at keeping it contained. everyone thanks for the offers but you guys keep your knifes as i am sure you busted your butts (almost said something else lol but watching my language now) for what you have. yall deserve to keep it for sure.

no worries on the wounds, they are healed and don't bother me much unless it's about to rain for some reason i can feel it. it's been in me since late 2003, early 2004 now, it's almost like a part of me now. either way i will edit my first post to not offend anyone and again i apologize if i did offend anyone with my language its just the anger right now.

I can't help on the window or radio, but I got an ESKABAR I'll give ya, to cover the Izula. Its a little used, but its razor sharp and ready to go. Even got some misch layin' around too. I'll put either a walnut or antler handle on it for ya if ya want.

I just had $300 in cash taken off me 2 weeks ago in Kalifornia. I feel ya. That was my Fiddleback savings account, in a manner. I found another way through a brother, so, I like to pay it forward. PM me with the address and handle type for the steel. I'll make you a leather sheath to replace the one you had. Take a couple of weeks.

Let me know.

thanks moosez45 i appreciate the offer, i will make do though. i just wanted to bit@# a bit and get my mind right. thanks everyone for the offers, again this is why this forum stands out IMO. I am sure karma or life will make things right, i was just trying to vent and get the hostility out, not wanting to take away from other folks

Dang, what a bunch of great guys and great offers! Thanks to every above post and especially the guy who serve/served.
 
I feel for you man, some people just don't give a BLEEP. Worthless people, hopefully get what's coming to them.

Says something as to how many people respond to a strangers rants, in which he asks for nothing, offering to give him X. Good group of people here.
