    Seal Commander Commits Suicide?

    A Navy Seal Commander in an apparent suicide?

    Rumor is he was one of the team on Operation Geronimo that got UBL

    Here's your next CONSPIRACY thread, ELVIS

    On a serious note, shouldn't we as a country be looking into why military suicides have gone through the roof since 2003?????





    (CNN) — The Navy is investigating the death in Afghanistan of one of its most senior SEAL officers as an apparent suicide, a U.S. military official tells CNN.

    Navy Cmdr. Job W. Price, 42, of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, died Saturday while serving as the commanding officer of SEAL Team 4, a special warfare unit based in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

    The official, who has direct knowledge of the event, spoke on the condition of anonymity because the death remains under full investigation by the U.S. military.

    The official said the family has been notified of the death and that it is being investigated as an apparent suicide. There is no indication at this time that Price was involved in any military-related investigations or controversies, the official said.

    Apparently, when Price did not appear at an expected time, other military personnel went to look for him and discovered his body with an apparent gunshot wound.

    As the commanding officer of the team, Price oversaw more than two dozen commandos and support staff conducting counterterrorism operations in Uruzgan Province in Afghanistan, a longtime center of insurgent activity, according to a statement from the Defense Department.

    From Barbara Starr, CNN Pentagon Correspondent

    In the Intel community, suicide is just a catchall excuse for "death by self-or-other-inflicted" means....

    hope the guy found whatever peace he was looking for.

    It just eludes me....

    People who attain this kind of dream gig, literally one in a million shot, and then choose to off themselves?

    It's sad, and confusing as hell.

    I feel for his family, especially any kids.

    I was lucky enough to know SEALs stationed on both coasts. My dad worked closely with them and I was lucky to know some of them. It's hard to imagine one of them checking out by his own hand. But I guess it could happen.

    I wonder if it could be that our government is ordering these men to do things that they have a hard time living with afterward?

    I believe that...

    Also asking these guys to do 8,9, even 10 tours is ridiculous.

    Everyone has a breaking point....

    I do too.

    But it is for the above reasons I cannot automatically accept the story at face value.

    Yeah. but who knows this guys private hell. Lonely, wife cheating, lost his dog, stack of credit card bills, who can say. Despair comes in many disguises. We all want to think...fuck, if only I could have talked to the guy for 10 minutes maybe I could have saved him....I know that's how I feel whenever I hear of suicides.

    Or maybe on one of his secret missions he accidentally shot a 6 year old Afghan in the forehead and couldn't get the image out of his head and live with himself any more.

    Like you said, when you try to make sense of something like this it just gets more & more confusing. Sad.

    For those reading this board that have some extra cash (I know, it's hard this time of year), here's a worthy charity:

    Not impossible, but SEAL Team 4 wasn't involved AFAIK...
