Well I was in the service - two tours in Viet Nam. And I just finished 2 1/2 years travelling with the Army across Afghanistan.
The worst part of this news coverage is the repeated fact that he was an Iraq war vet so that somehow some sort of gov't system is to blame. Wrong!! The Army did not build this whacko, he was nuts long before the Army kicked him out. People are people.
Yes people are people.Having been in any branch of service doesn't always make you better or worse. The like to say "A veteran was gunned down...." Aaahhhh,what got him to the point of the cops coming for him? Was he one that was forced into service in lieu of jail?
And here,they are saying things about PTSD. I have 2 friends with PTSD.One is working for the National Guard at Murray and the other is in Afghanistan working on those little bomb robots.
You know,holding down jobs?
People are just people. Veteran or not some are good and some aren't so good. This guy died appropriately for what he had done.
