Stuart Langridge was a model soldier. But when he returned from a tour in Afghanistan, his family noticed that something was off. He was suffering from PTSD. But instead of providing him the treatment he needed, Stuart was punished and humiliated by the Canadian Forces. Like too many Afghan veterans, Stuart ended up taking his own life.
