I've read a lot of comments on YT about "Dear John" letters. For example this one:

>We had a recruit blow his brains out at MCRD in '72, exactly like Pyle did, over a 'Dear John' letter from home. He smuggled out from the range one rd. of .308 from his M-14. Not easy to do, but possible.

Why the fuck end your life over some pussy man? It's not shelter nor food. It's theoretically always replaceable and every man knows that no pussy is loyal. I never understood why you shoot yourself over some pussy? I'd understand if you lost all your money and assets, but just for the mere reason she bailed out (even without taking all your shit?) come on.
