Across America, Deadly Echoes of Foreign Battles

New York Times

Across America, Deadly Echoes of Foreign Battles
The New York Times found 121 cases in which veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan committed a killing in this country, or were charged with one, after their return from war. In many of those cases, combat trauma and the stress of deployment — along with alcohol abuse, family discord and other attendant problems — appear to have set the stage for a tragedy that was part destruction, part self-destruction



Another non-combat death was reported as well.
