Military officials Tuesday identified the soldier accused of killing five of his comrades at a U.S. base in Iraq.
Sgt. John Russell, 44, of Sherman, Texas, is in custody at Camp Liberty in Baghdad. He is accused of opening fire at a combat stress clinic Monday, killing five U.S. soldiers.
You see, military personnel flipping out and killing other military is nothing new during times of war and these things are HUGE moral killers and turn the public against wars. Actually, there have been a myriad of instances with Iraq war vets killing other military personal.
Also, I think the suicide rate is about 120 per month and PTSD is about 35% for Iraq war vets. Not good for mental health. Of course this is all PC hooey.
What this instance is, is a tragedy of war, like the story above, spun around by propagandists to become a moral booster. As everybody can see by the replies of some posters, it worked like a charm.
There was obviously other people involved. Where did they go?
The CIA supposedly was watching this guy. Why did they fail at keeping americans safe?
He was trying to get out of the military and was denied. So what, he decided to become a muslim extremist after they would not let him out.
This guy AND apparently other people flipped out about being deployed. This is not an unusual occurrence except for the amount of bloodshed.
