is home on leave(his first leave in 18 months).something has changed.there is no soul in his eyes.he used to laugh,and loved playing with his brothers.now he drinks,smokes,and sleeps.he makes references to killing people,but he is a tank mechanic.he showed me pictures of tanks and humvees blown up,with the blood of soldiers still on them.He was injured,and taken out of iraq,and is healing,but there are wounds there that you can't see.He flew home with one of his comrades that was medically discharged for ptsd.There were 9 kids discharged for ptsd in that unit.what are we doing over there.It destroys me.
