Sickening report on ABC of an American soldier who killed himself



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Just watched one of the most sickening, infuriating reports ever on ABC (transcript here). ABC's Bob Woodruff reported on a great American soldier who ended up trying to kill himself while serving in Iraq. His duty in Iraq seriously messed with his head, he tried to seek help, didn't really get it, and then ended up in that fateful building 17 at Walter Reed - the one that the Washington Post reported on a few months ago. Well, the military then ignored the guy at Walter Reed until he hung himself - and even then, they didn't find him until two days later, and only after his parents BEGGED someone to go to his room and check on him.

Oh, and by the way, I did a Google search on the soldier's name, James Coons, and Republican Congressman Sam Johnson (the guy who thinks we would have won in Vietnam had we'd only stayed longer and sent more troops). The results? Zero. It seems Mr. Johnson hasn't had anything to say about this abandoned American soldier either.
