The soldier who is accused of this tragic event is from Ft. Lewis. He had been deployed to Iraq, we don’t know the number of times. His brigade had been deployed to Iraq several times. This guy had just arrived in Afghanistan in February. He most likely was suffering from PTSD before he was sent to Afghanistan. It’s a tragedy for everyone.
My son is in Panjwaii, all of his leadership had done several tours in Iraq before this one to Afghanista....ALL have said Afghanistan is by far the worst place they have ever been....it in unfathomable. And I will tell you from experience, Panjwaii truly is HELL, it is the Birthplace of the Taliban. We don’t hear anything about it because there is not a reporter who will even venture in there. Michael Yon would not even stay there. As of this AM our time all was quiet.
