YouTube doesn't care about troops with PTSD

YouTube has been blocking my videos one by one for too long now. The latest one was Nam Nights of PTSD Still. I was going to wait until the end of the month to pull the videos but I'm totally fed up. My videos have been up on Google and YouTube for a couple of years now. Suddenly they are targeting my videos. They started with When War Comes Home Part Two, which has songs by Toby Keith. I complained and they allowed it but it was too late. Then one by one I get an email telling me that another video has been blocked but yet again they don't seem to care what these videos are or who they are for.

No matter how much I write or email or try to do anything else, nothing has reached as many veterans as these videos. What good would it do to spend hours searching for music to fit the message and spend more hours putting them together if they are not seen? I trusted YouTube to deliver these videos to help the troops and our veterans. Now they will be on my web site and blog but not linked to YouTube or Google. I'm pulling them all off. I really hope YouTube staff is happy with what they just did because a lot less veterans will be able to find these videos now. Let's face it. When it comes to videos YouTube and Google are the top places to find them. I do all of this for free but YouTube just doesn't care.

The videos will be on my web site at http://www.namguardianangel.com/, this blog and on http://www.greatamericans.com/. At least they appreciated the work done to help the veterans and the troops when they need all the help they can get.

  1. Kathi,

    You stated that YouTube has been blocking your video's. Then you might be interested in this information. Check out Troy's post and his moving all his vid's from YouTube to GreatAmericans.com. I hope this helps you get the word out to the ones who need it most.

  2. Thank you Ky
    I just left a message on his site. You'd think with the need out there YouTube and Google would at least care but they don't. I started to delete the videos already. They are all on my web site at www.namguardianangel.com and soon they'll all be up on Great Americans as well.
