His body healed, but his mind never came home. **THE VA GAVE HIM PILLS AND SENT HIM HOME.** When Jack warned them he was dangerous, they increased his dosage. When he begged for real help, they handed him a prescription and a phone number to call if things got worse. **THINGS GOT WORSE.** Trapped in flashbacks and haunted by hallucinations, Jack can no longer distinguish between war and home.
