“To Avoid Return to Iraq, Soldier Arranged to Be Shot”- New York Times- Sewell Chan
This title caught my eye when I saw it, and thought it was very interesting! To Avoid Return to Iraq, Soldier Arranged to Be Shot. Writing for The New York Times is Sewell Chan. The article talks about how a solider said he got shot in a robbery so that he would not have to go back to the Army because he was hurt. When really he paid someone to shot him so he would not have to go back to work in the Army. He was charged on conspiracy and an illegal gun possession offense, his wife who was in on it, is charged with false reporting and incident. This matters to me because when I here these things in the news that just makes me think that the Army is not very fun, and when people are paying others to shoot them to get them out of it, it makes me want to never be on the Army. This same aspect also relates to the world because when others read this and are trying to make a decision whether to do something they will change their mind by stories like this. In addition, if other countries read it then they will think that are Army is going down in strength and will not be able to fight as well.
