Sgt. Mitchell Streeter was overwhelmed. Twice deployed, he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, unable to sleep, stressed out by his job as a recruiter, and now he was being forced out of the Army after a drunken-driving arrest.
To top it off, his wife was acting suspiciously.
Late on the night of his 37th birthday, April 27, Streeter paged through his sleeping wife’s cellphone. There, among the messages he might have expected, were some shocking extras: graphically sexual messages between her and another man.
He woke up his wife to confront her. She confessed. The other man was his married battalion commander, and the two of them had carried on an affair for 10 months. It had ended a month earlier.
Streeter, who had lost a stripe after a drunken-driving arrest in 2008, and was on the verge of losing his 13-year career after a 2010 drunken-driving arrest, was devastated.
