Veterans with PTSD... Excerpt: On Wednesday, former talk show host and retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander Montel Williams, delivered fiery Capitol Hill testimony on behalf of fellow Marine, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, who’s been serving time in a Mexican prison for the last six months. Montel: “He didn’t hesitate to say, ‘Aye aye, sir’ to go off and serve,” said Williams, his voice cracking and his eyes watering. “How dare we? How dare we as a nation hesitate to get that young man back?” In March, Tahmooressi, who served two tours in Afghanistan, was arrested in Tijuana after driving across the border from San Diego with three guns in his truck. Tahmooressi has said he accidentally entered Mexico after making a wrong turn. According to his family, the 26-year-old suffers from combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In June, Tahmooressi told CNN that he’d tried to commit suicide while incarcerated. washingtonpost/blogs/reliable-source/wp/2014/10/01/retired-marine-montel-williams-testifies-on-the-hill-breaks-down-in-tears/
