Suspect’s Deployments Put Focus on War Strains
WASHINGTON — Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the soldier accused of killing 16 civilians in Afghanistan last week, was deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan over a decade, a record of combat that at the very least suggests high levels of stress. He was particularly upset about being sent to Afghanistan, his wife wrote last year on her blog, and the family had hoped to be stationed in Germany, Italy or Hawaii instead. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/18/us/suspects-deployments-put-focus-on-war-strains.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20120318

Lost part of his foot in another episode, also apparently from a bomb, and that some of the arch was removed afterward...
I wonder what medication he might have been on.
What a very, very sad situation. 
She's writing about his disappointment with his career? On a public blog?
I wouldn't be surprised if this blog contributed to his being passed over for promotion to SFC. Loose lips and all that.
Maybe I just don't understand blogging personal info.
