Injured Combat Vet Writes a Book That Can Transform Lives! Episode 1

Eugene Bennett was born and raised in Wisconsin. He really enjoyed playing outdoors as a kid growing up. He had a rough childhood and eventually ended up joining the Marine Corps. He later joined the Army National Guard, then the Army Reserves and he ended up getting deployed to Iraq, twice. During one deployment, the vehicle he was driving was struck by an IED and he suffered a traumatic brain injury. He is still dealing with the symptoms of his injury to this day along with the resultant treatment.
“Gene Bennett deployed to Iraq twice, once in 2005 and again from April 2007 to December 2008. He spent his first deployment in a tire tent changing lots and lots and lots of truck tires. He was attached to three different units in his second deployment. The first unit put him on prison guard duty, or what he calls “the worst babysitting job ever.” He was a diesel technician and a truck driver with the other two.He loves good music, cooking, hitting the gym regularly, and hopes to get back to school to increase the odds of getting back into the automotive technician industry. After his deployment, he was diagnosed with P.T.S.D. and says that, along with some severe depression, destroyed the things he loved to do and his desire to be proficient.
He hopes to work on recovery, a cookbook and a writer’s guide to help others tell their stories.”
Regarding his first book: “An Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran tells the gripping story of “Forward Operating Base: Crapper,” a transitional prison with a violent juvenile detainee population where no one is immune from the heat, hatred and fear. Recovering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Gene Bennett, callsign Spazmasterflex, also explores his broken family relationships. By using brutal honesty, he hopes his Baghdad Brethren Band and other veterans will read this book and realize they are not alone.”
