Les Blumenthal, of McClatchy Newspapers: "Two nightmares haunt Robin Milonas. While serving in Afghanistan in 2004 as an Army Reserve civil affairs officer, the former lieutenant colonel got lost in a minefield while leading a small convoy delivering school supplies to civilians. Even more troubling is the memory of a man who arrived at the main gate of Bagram Air Base carrying a young boy whose leg had been blown off by a land mine. 'I was an outgoing, energetic, determined good soldier who wanted to make the Army a career,' said Milonas, of Puyallup, Wash., who just turned 50. 'Now I am broken.'"
