Epidemic Continues: Iraq Vet with PTSD Kills Self, Brother The epidemic of suicides among veterans of the Iraq war with PTSD has become so common that I sat down to write about two news ones today and end up writing about an even more recent, and shocking, one. It involves a decorated vet who wrote about his PTSD for the Marine Corps Gazette-- and this week killed himself and his brother after a long police chase in Arizona. Police have discovered no motive for the killings, nor why the brothers earlier in the week may have planned to commit suicide by driving into the Grand Canyon -- Thelma and Louise style. Staff Sgt. Travis Twiggs, 36, who enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1993 and held the combat action ribbon -- and met President Bush a few weeks ago -- wrote a lengthy article in the January issue of the Marine Corps Gazette detailing his efforts to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. He loved his country so much he named his son America, The Arizona Republic reports today. His brother was Willard J. Twiggs, age 38. Greg Mitchell's new book includes several chapters on vet suicides and related issues. It is So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits -- and the President -- Failed on Iraq. It features a preface by Bruce Springsteen and a foreword by Joe Galloway. http://www.huffingtonpost.c...

Rep. McCarthy voted *AGAINST* veterans benefits today: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/... Support the Troops, indeed. Fortunately, the Democrats carried the day, and raised the money to pay for it too. posted by
