The enemy could never break him, but what this decorated Green Beret eventually found was that his enemy was within. Friends who served with him in the military say he was the real “Captain America.”.......................
......................... His death sent shock waves through the military. His friends, family and military leaders were at a loss. Many told Fox News that Marckesano never got over his tour in Afghanistan's Arghandab Valley in 2009 with the 2-508, a battalion that had one of the highest casualty rates of any unit during the war. “That deployment was like being in the ring with Mike Tyson for a year,” according to the battalion’s former Command Sgt Major Bert Puckett.
Maybe the damage was already done but by 2009 we had absolutely no business still being in Afghanistan.
Marckesano’s suicide was the 30th from this battalion. He is one of the 20 combat veterans taking their lives each day -- an epidemic the military and White House are trying to stop. Last month, President Trump launched the PREVENTS Task Force with a White House ceremony.
The 30th suicide. An epidemic that the military and White House is trying to stop? No they aren't. They could have stopped it years ago. Bring them home.
Bush, Cheney, Obama, Hillary, Trump and a long list of others deserve nothing better than to rot in hell for what they have done.
Army's 'Captain America' dies by suicide after nearly a dozen combat tours
