He got himself killed for a no good reason.
Was he killed? WSJ paywall...
De-limbed Lieutenant Dan (as Forest Gump was dutifully saving his life): “A relative of mine has been killed in every major military conflict in U.S. history. Damn it, Gump—you’re robbing me of my rightful glory!”
“He got himself killed for a no good reason.”
He’s been dead for some time, mentally. It just took time to catch up with him. Probably a war junkie that never received treatment.
