Pay our housing....or self immolation?

The Frontier Post:

So, what is "self-immolation"? Suicide by fire is what I found.

Kunduz is a city in NE Afghanistan.

Disabled vets are angry that their commanders are living the life of luxury, while they have no place to live. Vets here in the States often don't get the treatment and benefits they need, but threatening to set themselves on fire is not something I see happening.

Different culture? Greater desperation?
