If Napolitano was prophetic about all those returning vets becomes crazed terrorists, we're going to have real trouble for a long time now. After all, von Brunn was a WWII vet, which means we still have all those vets from Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Gulf I, and Gulf II to worry about. Given the 60-year lag time, the returning-vet terrorist threat is going to continue well through the end of the century.
Oh, ha ha ha! PSTD is teh funny!
Army Sgt. John M. Russell and Pfc. Jaynie May Askew were desperate soldiers far from home, one accused of killing five GIs in Baghdad and the other is thought to have committed suicide in San Antonio.They snapped, beyond the reach of a military that tried hard to save them.
“I wish there were easy answers,” the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, said Saturday. “There are not.”
The Army says Russell, a three-tour veteran from Sherman, shot five soldiers and that Askew, of Scotsdale, Ariz., probably killed herself.
The Army thinks there are fixes — one slowing down a high “operational tempo” that has forced troops to pull two, three and even four war-zone tours. It's trying to expand the time between tours to 18 months by 2010 and 24 months in 2011.
“There's no end to the cycle,” said Raul Villaronga, a retired Army colonel and Vietnam veteran who works with groups that support military families.
My Christmas wish is that Goldberg's shitty little magazine goes belly up, and Mr. Legacy Pledge lives the rest of his worthless life on a diet of dog food (dry) and Tang.
