Washington (CNN) It was a moment from the early days of the US invasion of Iraq that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Seth Moulton says still haunts him. Moulton, who served four tours with the Marines in Iraq, opened up about his own experience with post-traumatic stress, revealing how he still thinks about a painful decision to leave a wounded Iraqi boy behind. "The Marines just a few hundred yards ahead of us shot up some cars and buses that they thought were full of enemy troops. But at least one car was an Iraqi family, just fleeing the violence," the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN. "There is a boy, probably about five years old, lying in the middle of the road, wounded and writhing in pain."
