Two tours of Iraq, combat wounded and PTSD plus 5 years in jail?

After two tours in Iraq, being shot, blown up leaving shrapnel in his body TBI and PTSD, he was reduced to saying this.

"I have become a parasite to the very families I swore to protect," he said.

What do you think would have happened if he had gotten the help he needed? What do you think would have happened if medication worked so he wouldn't have to use illegal drugs instead? Do you think he would have gone from being willing to die for the sake of someone else to robbing strangers?

GLOUCESTER — An Army veteran wounded in Iraq during two combat tours was sentenced Tuesday in Gloucester County Circuit Court to serve almost five years in prison for nine daytime burglaries.

Steven Browning Tozer, 27, had all but 58 months suspended of a 75-year sentence for 15 felonies that he pleaded guilty to in September. Visiting Judge Walter J. Ford also ordered Tozer to pay $33,863 in restitution to the nine victims.

In court testimony, Tozer was portrayed as a former soldier who turned to drugs such as spice to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries stemming from his separate combat tours of 15 months and one year. In 2005, Tozer was shot in the hand and suffered shrapnel wounds and concussions from exposure to gunfire and roadside bombs, including one that detonated beneath the vehicle he was riding in, according to court testimony.

Tozer was arrested last April in connection with a series of residential burglaries. At the time he was involved in a bitter court battle over custody and visitation of his two young sons from a previous marriage, according to court testimony.
