| Family: Iraq vet shot self and wife An Iraq war veteran and his wife were found shot to death in what may be a murder-suicide. Family members blame post-traumatic stress suffered by Chad Olson, 21, during his deployment. The Associated Press REPUBLIC, Ferry County -- An Iraq war veteran and his wife were found shot to death in what may be a murder-suicide. Family members blame post-traumatic stress suffered by Chad Olson, 21, during his deployment. Olson, a former Marine who served in Iraq, was found dead in the home in Republic along with his wife, Jessica Armstrong, also 21. The Saturday deaths are being investigated by the State Patrol. KREM-TV of Spokane said the couple married on July 10, and that Armstrong filed for separation two weeks later. Olson's relatives released a statement saying the young man returned from Iraq a changed person, and suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. As usual, the press missed the mark on this one. This guy was a CH-53 Crew Chief, who never went on a single foot patrol or fired a single round during his deployment. He was caught in bed with a 15 yr old girl by his wife. She had filed for a divorce. The coward/pedophile then shoots his wife and himself. PTSD? Not so much. It is so easy to blame the war...why not?

| #1 I wonder if this will get more media attention than the rumors that Code Pink members defiled a Koran? |
