Earlier this month, someone sent us the tragic story of Josh Gueary published in the Topeka Capitol-Journal<\/a>. Josh, here, shot his brother and two laborers before turning the gun on himself – and of course, his military service was to blame;<\/p>\n

On that day, Fletcher said, Josh Gueary displayed the paranoia and edginess that friends have seen in him since he returned from the military last year. He often believed someone was chasing him or lurking behind him. When someone knocked on Fletcher\u2019s door, Josh Gueary jumped.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

He apparently resented his time in the military, telling Fletcher the day before he died, \u201cThe Army changed me.\u201d The long overtime hours made him feel like a slave, he said. He called enlistment the worst decision of his life, despite the sunny locale to which he was sent \u2014 Oahu, Hawaii.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Must’ve been brutal, you know, being stationed in Hawaii. Joshua Jamesray Gueary was an engineer in a bridging unit, according to his records. He never deployed, and, oh, by the way, he didn’t complete his commitment, either. He did three years and seven months, discharged as a private last Fall.<\/p>\n

While the story ends tragically, it plays into the stereotypical “all veterans are crazy and on a hair trigger”, but it seems that Josh, here, had problems before he joined the Army and nothing he did in the Army played into that tragic ending. He didn’t train with a handgun on the Army – they can’t even blame his marksmanship with his weapon of choice in his crime on the Army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
