Durrel Michael signed up for the Army with a sense of Patriotic Duty after the 9/11 attacks. But when he threw out his back loading 20 pound communications equipment onto a Humvee in Korea, the military refused to give him medical care. When he said he was too injured to be deployed to Iraq, the Army tried to give him a dishonorable discharge for "personality disorder." Now back in civilian life, Michael finds himself too injured to hold the kind of industrial job he had before his military service. He cites racism among the reasons the government is refusing to give him the medical care he needs to get his life straight again.
