Does “found dead” perhaps indicate suicide? I hope this is all fully investigated.

Yes, three star flag officers commit suicide daily.

You describe the typical mid life heart attack victim.

Our secretary of state has put that fantasy to rest. There is zero intelligence to support that idea.

Thank you, yes poor Mr. Inspectorette was pretty worried. It brought us even closer together. A new appreciation for what really matters in life.

It’s not unknown. An Army General took his own life two days before taking a major command a couple of years ago.

Suicide is a problem throughout society, to include the military. I have known several soldiers I served with commit suicide. They all had reasons to live, but let thier despair/frustrations take over for just long enough for an irrevocable desicion.

This sucks for his family, I had a nephew commit suicide five years ago during a messy divorce. His family is still coping with the loss.

Oct. 26 (UPI) -- United Nations investigators examined weapons aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer Friday to determine if Iran is smuggling arms to Yemen.

More than 2,500 AK-47 assault rifles and other guns were seized in August off the coast of Yemen, and were inspected Thursday aboard the USS Jason Dunham.
