Soldier Found Dead at Fort Bragg Was a Green Beret

One of the two men found dead in a training area of a North Carolina base this week had spent about a dozen of his 19 years in the service assigned to Special Forces and U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Master Sgt. William J. Lavigne II, 37, with the command's headquarters and headquarters company, was found dead Wednesday afternoon in the training area on Fort Bragg, along with a veteran previously assigned to the base, the military said in a statement. "The loss of a soldier is always tragic," Lt. Col. Justin Duvall, commander of USASOC's headquarters and headquarters company, said in a statement Friday. Timothy Dumas, a 44-year-old Army veteran from Pinehurst, N.C., was the other man whose body was found, Fort Bragg officials said in a separate statement. The statement did not give further details about his service, and an Army Human Resources Command spokesman reached by phone said additional information was not immediately available.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world,against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Suicide is also a great danger in the Military.

What are the chances Lockdowns + service History contributed to this?

Just as likely in Today's Army that no women were involved.

You can start listening at 43:15 to hear Lt. General McInerney in his own words.

Or you could tune in to CNN.

At some point, you have to decide who you are going to trust.

I noticed his National Defense Service Ribbon is on the fourth row at the right. I was thinking there was an assigned order to the ribbons and the National Defense Ribbon went on the first row in the center. (It’s been nearly 50 years since I was in the service.)
