From NYT (www.nytimes.com):
Mr. Brown joined the Army in January 2001 and had deployed to Iraq for a little over a year between 2004 and 2005 before leaving the service in May 2005 as a sergeant, an Army spokeswoman said. He was in the Montana National Guard for about two years until March 2008.
Two relatives of Mr. Brown said he had returned from the Army with physical ailments and severe post-traumatic stress disorder that gave him night terrors. They said he was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
One of the relatives, a sister who spoke on the condition that her name not be used, said that Mr. Brown would claim that famous movies had been based on his actions overseas. He sometimes told people that he was Jason Bourne, or a five-star general on a secret mission.
