Col. Ted Westhusing, a West Point scholar, put a bullet in his head in Iraq after reporting widespread corruption. His suicide note -- complaining about human rights abuses and other crimes -- was addressed to his two commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, now leader of the U.S. "surge" effort in Iraq. It urged them to "Reevaluate yourselves....You are not what you think you are and I know it."

Psychologically he was thinking the only way to solve the problem was death. Everyone is wired different, serving was his life and his death.

One man can't do it and it's not like they want to fix things for the sake of fixing things.

I feel for the guy, I mean it must be horrible to witness death and destruction everyday and I don't see him in a cowardly light because he capped himself.
