From Kansas to Kentucky

"Hearing starts in clinic rampage; Soldier accused of killing 5 in ’09" August 09, 2011|Associated Press

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. - Witnesses at a military hearing for a US soldier accused of shooting and killing five fellow service members in 2009 at a mental health clinic in Iraq testified yesterday that Army Sergeant John Russell was frustrated at the care he was receiving....

A former Army Reserve psychiatrist testified that Russell was clearly angry and irritated during a brief encounter they had on May 11, 2009, the day of the shootings....

Russell is accused of carrying out the deadliest act of soldier-on-soldier violence during the war in Iraq. The case brought attention to the issues of combat stress and morale as troops increasingly served multiple combat tours....  

But no talk of ending these occupations and wars based on lies.
