Reply #2: It happened to the grand-son of a friend of mine

[GCP]

The poor kid's a Marine, 19 years old, had been in Iraq twice already, was there during the original invasion, and then was sent back a year later, when he was wounded in the eye and leg. By September last year he was based in California and suffering from PTSD. When he heard his unit was being sent back yet again, he became suicidal. He was actually in the base ER waiting treatment, when MPs marched in and put him on the plane. He's been on Wellbutrin and was on kitchen duty over there - they wouldn't allow him a gun - the last time I heard.
His Senator and congressman were on the case, but they couldn't do anything for him.
