Horror and stresses of Iraq duty led US sergeant to kill comrades
Everyone – the father, the son, the army – agrees that three tours of Iraq drove Sergeant John Russell to the edge.
But what pushed him over, into shooting dead five of his comrades in an army that was his life for 16 years, is a matter of bitter dispute.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Men and women military personnel who come from decent homes with moral values, once deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanistan, recognized pretty quickly that the US occupations of both countries do not put us on the right side of history.
That's a pretty ugly thing to have to live with.
