The Iraqi War ruined the mental health of war hero Paul Miles and now federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Texas have thrown him in Prison for 2-1/2 years and the prison refuses to treat him for his ailments. In fact, they changed his psychotropic medications to cheaper ones, but that are causing him physical pain! No telling what long term damage is being done, the prison won't test his blood as required by their own protocol! All his parents want is that Paul gets the treatment for BiPolar and possible Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that V.A. doctors say he needs.An Eagle Boy Scout and church missionary, Sergeant Paul Miles came back from Iraq a decorated hero, but a changed young man. A small PVC device he made—little more than a homemade firecracker—was found in his apartment, along with some marijuana plants and “psychedelic†mushrooms.Psychiatrists who have examined Paul say he is suffering from a bipolar disorder. His drug tests have come back clean. The Veteran’s Administration says that there’s a place waiting for him at Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, LA.
But instead of releasing him to the psychiatric care Paul desperately needs, federal prosecutors sent him to Prison for 2-1/2 years...no medical help...no psychiatric help.
