SAN ANTONIO -- Sgt. Paul Miles' family knew something was different about him when he came back from Iraq. The Eagle Scout and former church missionary was jumpy. Behind the wheel, he would suddenly drive as if under attack. Later they would learn he built a bomb and used it to damage a statue of the Virgin Mary. Then, he killed a cat.

I thought we were going to take care of our wounded warriors!
Here's how they're caring for Sgt. Paul Miles. The "bomb" they are so worried about was made of 1" PVC and would fit in the palm of your hand. It contained a propellant that isn't as powerful as the black powder you find in firecrackers. And still, the feds want him thrown in prison, not provided the help he needs....Some care.
Of course, they've chosen not to charge the non-veteran who has been implicated in the same crime...just the veterans.
