Title: Yankee Gone Home
Subtitle: A True Story About Operation Just Cause
Author: Franklin Hook
Narrator: Scott P. Delaney
Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-22-17
Publisher: William Franklin Hook
Genres: History, Military
Publisher's Summary:
The numerous US military actions of the 20th century have spanned the globe and led to innumerable consequences, but one truth is undeniable: without our military heroes, all would be lost. Yet even after these soldiers finally return home, many face incredible - and insurmountable - challenges.
From noted historical nonfiction writer Franklin Hook comes this compelling true tale of one particular invasion and one particular man. This study is based on interviews, firsthand documentation, court-martial testimonies, and newspaper articles - but the story it tells goes beyond dry facts to reveal a profound human tragedy.
Bruce Beard was one of many soldiers involved in the controversial US invasion of Panama in 1989 and its terrible aftermath. Despite a record of good conduct, his service was marred by drug abuse. Without the resources to deal with his problem, Beard fell apart until he ended up with a bad conduct discharge.
Since returning home, Beard has been denied care for his PTSD because of that label. And there are more like him, struggling veterans who cant get the help they need. These soldiers have taken the fall in a less-than-perfect system of military justice. This is their story.

Overlooked Military History
This book is long over-due. For years the military has been giving Bad Conduct Discharges (BCD) to prevent combat veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from collecting their Veterans benefits. This book tells the story of a combat veteran who spent years trying to get justice. Because these "Bad Paper Veterans" are denied PTSD treatment, employment and veteran services, they become "at risk" for suicide, incarceration, homelessness and non-productive post service lives. In 2014 the military made a decision to look again at PTSD as a cause to overturn BCDs. This book is about "awareness" of a situation that has plaqued our military justice system and ruined countless lives of some of our finest combat veterans... The treatment of these veterans has been disgraceful and needs to change.. Share this book and its message...
