Troops are killing each other over in Iraq...we just dont hear about it. And they are just normal americans of diverse cultures... |
True, he volunteered but maybe he was gambling that we'd have it all wrapped up by the time he finished his studies. Lot's of National Guard and reserve troops get that reality check when they volunteer to sign up for the "great college benefits" and end up called up for a deployment. Besides, he had access to all those psychotropic drugs that are such the popular American solution for all our emotional traumas that used to be corrected by living and learning. Maybe he dosed himself until manic and decided to make some kind of statement..
