The Wounded Platoon

[perocity]

On November 30, 2007, 24-year-old Kevin Shields went out drinking with three Army buddies from Fort Carson, Colo., a base on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. A few hours later, he was dead -- shot twice in the head at close range and left by the side of the road by his fellow soldiers.

Did any one see this last night any thoughts?

Yeah its a pretty good insight into PTSD and what happens to some troops coming home. One of those subjects people dont like to talk about or recognise coz they dont wanna rock the boat. Many people don't realise that killing and violence is addictive. How do you spend a year getting shot at and killing people then come home to a world that is 2D and boring? Vets should take up motorsport or skydiving maybe. What to do with all the anger? Who knows.
