Part 1 examines the case of Spc. Jon Town, who was wounded in Iraq, won a Purple Heart and was then denied disability and medical benefits.  Town’s doctor had concluded that his headaches and hearing loss were not caused by the 107-millimeter rocket that knocked him unconscious but by a “personality disorder.”  In Part 2, military doctors talk about being pressured by their superiors to purposely misdiagnose wounded soldiers.  Part 3 tells the story of Sgt. Chuck Luther, who was wounded by mortar fire in Iraq, then held captive in a U.S. Army aid station for over a month, under enforced sleep deprivation, until he agreed to sign fraudulent papers saying his wounds came from a pre-existing personality disorder.
