Faced with the Iraq war's corruption, Col. Ted Westhusing chose death before dishonor

http://www.texasobserver.org Posted by admin 528 days ago

About a month before he was to return to his family—on June 5, 2005—Westhusing was found dead in his trailer at Camp Dublin in Baghdad. At the time, he was the highest-ranking American soldier to die in Iraq. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Command report on Westhusing’s death explained it as a “perforating gunshot wound of the head and Manner of Death was suicide.”

He was 44.
