The truth is, we have no idea if he "issues" before he was deployed. And a lot of totally normal people come home from war irrevocably traumatized, so don't toss him off as crazy so lightly, Sue and Combermere. It's a tragic story, and I don't know the answers, but I do know that the resonses here show us another excellent of example of how people try to ignore and downplay the horror of war in the modern age.

Thousands of men have gone off to war, seen horrible things, and still managed to resist the urge to bite and beat their babies. (BITING? I mean, what the hell?) This dude is plum crazy, and dangerous too.

Three and a half month TOD? Sorry, but I'll bet this guy had issues before he was ever deployed. ITA with Yvie--poor babies.

Now that is scary. I don't know how therapies for this condition should take but I guess they should give him a longer time for that.

Poor babies, I hope they're all okay now.
