   Ashford, a psychiatrist, is an Alzheimer's specialist who runs the hospital's memory disorders clinic. On a hallway wall, he displays computer images of 10 vets' brains, pinpointing areas of reduced blood flow. Compared to the smooth gray hemispheres of a normal brain, these resemble landscapes pocked by gaping craters. Bombs come to mind.
   
   "The striking thing is," Ashford says, "you don't see these problems in the Vietnam vets, the Korean War vets, the World War II vets."
   
   The service was Stutts' life: 32 years, counting the reserves and the National Guard.
   
   He doesn't want it to be over. He blames, bitterly, Saddam Hussein; the Western weapons suppliers who sold Iraq its poisons; his own government, for its "deplorable" treatment of vets.
   
   "All I want is my health back," he says, wearing an Army sweat shirt, which he will take off and put on repeatedly as he feels chills, then fevers.
