Suicidal tendencies

Devil’s Brigade veteran Don Harrell examines the gun he used in WWII, and that he continues to possess, even though his wartime injuries almost drove him to kill his mother and himself. (story by Kyle Kulish)
After publication, a letter-to-the-editor writer, a third-year law student and Vietnam veteran, said the gun was cocked and Harrell was directing it dangerously (suicidally) toward his face. Ian Roy argued that publishing the picture was inconsiderate of the many other depressed veterans who might be contemplating suicide.
