He could have went awol or gotten a dishonorable discharge if he was so against going back. It is sad that he would screw up his family's lifes this bad.

Wonder when the lawsuit is coming?

Sad, but someone needs to look into the chemical cocktails we give America soldiers to combat "malaria" among other things.

please the US are forcing people who have retired from the army back into service against their will....you really think they ar just going to let an enlised man leave when he's 'mean' to be in the army.

Hey that stop loss action started during Clintons admin..You can always be a abjector and not have to fight...They'll put you behind a desk or in the supply chain..

But then again we all knew that when we signed up, and if you didn't it's your own danm fault for not knowing it..

but I'm sure you still think it;s all Bush's Fault

Did anyone suggest that is was Bush’s fault? Did anyone even mention the Idiot King at all? Sad is still sad – despite whatever side of the partisan divide you want to bury your head in.

You’re right, there can be other ways out. But clearly this man didn’t think so. Clearly to him death was preferable to going back to war – in any capacity. And that he was driven to the point where that decision had to be made is whose fault, exactly?

Fair enough audra, but before you go shopping that opinion around you may NEED TO LOOK INTO THE CHEMICAL COCKTAILS GIVEN TO OUR SOLDIERS.

The "malaria" vaccine causes psychotic behavior and hallucinations.

I couldn't find any place in the story that said he was being sent back to Iraq. If his family couldn't help him, who could?

He committed one of the most selfish acts imaginable.
