A veteran of the Iraq war whose essay about killing led officials at the Community College of Baltimore County to say he needed a psychological evaluation to remain as a student says that he no longer wants to do so, The Baltimore Sun reported. Charles Whittington, the veteran, said that he met the requirements, but that college officials say he has not done enough. College officials said that they were clear all along on what he needed to do. At this point, the former student said he's decided not to return to the college. The essay described his focus on killing enemy soldiers -- and some advocates for veterans have argued that the college over-reacted to the entire situation.
