Soldier’s record shows anger issues before Kandahar shooting
Browne described Staff Sergeant Bales as reluctant about another deployment after a 2002 Tacoma arrest for assault. Bales completed 20 hours of anger management, pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed. He arrived in Afghanistan in December and was assigned near Kandahar on Feb 1 to a village security mission. On March 10 he witnessed a friend's injury as sprees began, with nine killed children and eleven from one family. A blimp surveillance video captured ominous footage of the shootings.

Footage shows a man approaching the Afghan base with a shawl covered weapon, laying it down and surrendering. Bales’ family says no aggression was evident. A neighbor recalls fear, and social media erupts with mixed judgments from terrorism to war hero.
