It’s almost impossible not to sympathize with Charles Shaffer, who as a 23-year-old soldier was horribly injured in Iraq by an improvised explosive device, losing his leg and requiring multiple surgeries. Likewise, 27-year-old David Schaeffer was killed in Iraq by a similar device, which according to the plaintiffs came from Iranian-funded-and-trained terror operatives in both instances.

There’s a natural human impulse to want to hold someone responsible for so much suffering—but does Deutsche Bank bear any of the blame?
