Tired of death notifications, fatal motor vehicle collisions, and arresting criminals who were released quicker than paperwork could be completed, Chris Whittemore left his gig as a Texas State Trooper in 2004 and returned to the United States Marine Corps.
2005. Ramadi, Iraq. Sniper.
2007: Fallujah, Iraq. Weapons Tech.
2010: Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Crew Chief / Door Gunner.
During the episode, S/Sgt. (ret) Whittemore discusses the realities of coping with the horrors of war, the fight against the stigmas of PTS(D), and trying to find a way to transition back into the civilian world.
As Chris states in his book Terror to Triumph, "The most unnerving reality that would surface after returning home for all of us is that no matter how many issues you have, and no matter how many times you hear information about seeking help... no one wants to be that guy."
