Military ethicist offs himself

Los Angeles Times report on the June suicide of Col. Ted Westhusing, who couldn't take what he was seeing in Iraq anymore. Pull quote: "In e-mails to his family, Westhusing seemed especially upset by one conclusion he had reached: that traditional military values such as duty, honor and country had been replaced by profit motives in Iraq, where the U.S. had come to rely heavily on contractors for jobs once done by the military."
