Cda acted badly and should have done more to get the fellow home to Cda.  The first blame goes to his parents - allowing him to go to Afghanistan in the first place.  His mother should be tried for endangering the life of a child - all she had to do was call 911.  The second and primary blame goes to the US and if he wants compensation that is to whom he should look for money.  As for Cda, we shouldn't pay him more than we pay disabled veterans.
