The death and destruction of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq seems to have become so rampant to one local soldier that he actually staged an attack on himself -- allegedly hiring a hitman to non-fatally shoot him -- so he wouldn't be sent back for another tour of duty.
What else is needed to stop this war? This guy paid $500 to get shot -- even that seemed better than going back to Iraq...
