David Philipps

David Nathaniel Philipps, born in 1977, is an American journalist and author. He was named a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, which on its website justified his nomination "for his painstaking stories on the spike in violence within a battered combat brigade returning to Fort Carson after bloody deployments to Iraq, leading to increased mental health care for soldiers."^[1] Philipps also won the 2009 Livingston Award^[2] for his reporting on violence in infantry troops returning from Iraq. Philipps' book, Lethal Warriors^[3] chronicles how the 4th Brigade Combat Team, stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, produced a high number of murders after soldiers returned from unusually violent combat tours. Philipps worked for eight years as an enterprise reporter at the Colorado Springs Gazette.
