My kid should not be dead, because he did live up to his contract, and the Army did not live up to theirs. I guess if we're going to put all of our trust in [military officials], then they should be trustworthy -- and they aren't. In Vietnam, you just went for 12 months and then you came home. If you went again, you did it voluntarily.
— Ed Brown, father, a Vietnam War veteran
Brown's six-year commitment to the Army was over when he was "stop-lossed" and returned to Iraq for his third tour.
