Marine's haunted second act

Here's a very interesting story by Luis Sinco, the photojournalist who took the famous picture of the exhausted cigarette smoking U.S. Marine, about how he got the photo, how he came to know its subject, and what happened to the young man after he was kicked out of the service for the PTSD he got serving in Iraq. I think the thing that shocked me the most was hearing that the 21-year-old's father was only 43.
