In this scene from Vanguard's "War Crimes," Clark Fish, an inmate at Maricopa County Jail in Arizona, tells correspondent Kaj Larsen about his time in Iraq as an Army medic. Fish, who has been convicted of murdering his girlfriend but still awaits sentencing, has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Kaj investigates the alarming rise in the number of soldiers who have been traumatized by war and are now accused of bringing the violence home. Of the more than 2 million men and women who have served in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as many as a third of them may now have PTSD. A growing number of these vets are being charged with violent crimes, and Kaj travels to prisons and mental health facilities in Arizona, Colorado and Oregon to hear their stories.
"War Crimes" premieres Wednesday, July 7 at 10/9c on Current TV.

WASHINGTON -- An Army investigation calls the electrocution death of a U.S. soldier in Iraq "negligent homicide" caused by military contractor KBR Inc. and two of its supervisors.
In a document obtained by The Associated Press, an Army criminal investigator says the manner of death for Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, 24, has been changed from accidental to negligent homicide because the contractor failed to ensure that "qualified electricians and plumbers" worked on the barracks where Sgt. Maseth died.
