Counseling Was Ordered for Soldier in Iraq Shooting

[Silverback]

He was a career Army man who joined up because it was a steady job, but he had fallen into debt paying off a $1,500-a-month mortgage, his father said. Now, just weeks from finishing his third tour in Iraq, Sgt. John M. Russell was in trouble with his commanding officer, who ordered him to turn in his gun and receive psychological counseling.

“If a guy actually goes to the clinic and asks for help, they think of him as a wimp and he’s got something wrong with him and try to get rid of him,” Mr. Russell said. “Well, he didn’t go and ask voluntarily for help. They scheduled him in, and they set him up. They drove him out. They wanted to put as much pressure on him as they could to drum him out.”

He added: “I think they broke him.”

So, "The Army" set up his son by providing counseling? No apology, no remorse, no concern for the people who actually were killed and or injured during this attack?

Many experts say that repeat deployments to combat zones are a factor behind the higher rate, along with financial and marital problems.

Once again....The painfully obvious is about to be proven by "experts"!
