[QUOTE="Johnboy60, post: 15769746, member: 21681"] HADITHA DAM, Iraq A couple of Marines sleep with the lights on. One takes sleeping pills. Another Marine takes them too, along with antidepressants. Survivor guilt and nightmares are common, they say. A squad leader who lost 10 of his 11 men, split evenly between killed and seriously wounded in action, has rearranged the beds of the fallen to dispel the ghosts. When Lima Company returned to base camp here at a towering dam near Haditha, the aftermath of the biggest battle in Iraq so far this year was evident by the voids. In one barracks, almost half of the 19 bunks belonging to the 1st Platoon were empty four killed in action and five sent home with severe wounds.
