    I kinda doubt it was that.....since he was a Major, I can fairly safely assume that with the Time In Service required for that Rank, that he was already deployed overseas at least once.

    The issue, at least for me, is the constant and repetitive deployments of the SAME personnel. One deployment is fine. Two is still okay. When you get above that, it gets really old really fast. There are many people in the military today which I'm sure are on their fifth, or even SIXTH deployment since this mess started. That's one heck of a long time away from home and family. When I was deployed in '04-'05 I was gone from home for 14 months. I hear they've shortened that now, I'm guessing 6-9 months at a shot. It feels like longer than it is, regardless of the time.

    My personal opinion is ONE deployment to an active overseas war zone should be enough for a 20-year military career. Possibly two deployments at the outside. That's all you can reasonably expect.

    I haven't heard or seen the story you all are talking about, this is the first I've heard of it. However, there is NO good reason for turning on your fellow Soldiers like that. Hearing this just makes me want go kick the dude in the head, deceased or not.

    He was a major because he was a Dr. Otherwise he never would have attained that rank. Army docs make decent money so they give them the rank in order to pay them. I don't think he had ever been deployed overseas. We need to borrow a Saudi swordsmen for his public beheading.
