Denial in the Corpse (not a misspelling)
Advertisements [?]
Another tale of a young man broken by war, ignored by the government and left to take his own life...

From the http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/020208Z.shtml">Truthout Article:

According to civilian and military defense lawyers, mental health professionals and veterans' advocates, the trajectory of James Jenkins's postdeployment life, with untreated PTSD leading to misconduct and then punishment, is all too common in the Marine Corps. A marine endures one, two, even three tours in Iraq, serves honorably and well, but returns suffering from combat trauma and starts to drink or abuse drugs or becomes violent at home, and suddenly finds himself ostracized, punished and drummed out of the Corps with an other-than-honorable or bad-conduct discharge.
