They all die in strange circumstances. I don’t believe any of it.

OT – submariners are now asked to fight in the fields of Afghanistan.

To consider

This.

Weird: a 42-year old O-5 should be eligible to retire if the job’s getting to him. Something doesn’t add up.

Yup
Submariners end up in all sorts of interesting places.

RIP,. warrior.

Terrible.
Prayers for him and his family.
In a rowboat under attack from a killer rabbit comes to mind.

Huh? Those guys relly aren’t “submariners”, though they sometimes work from subs.
Anyway, details from breaking stories are almost always wrong.

Sincere gratitude to Commander Price and his family for brave service to country.
I know zilch about the military, but it’s impossible to believe a word coming out of this government or its agencies, especially with all the deposed generals piling up.

I don’t buy it. Not for a second. And, if they aren’t sure then they certainly shouldn’t be speculating about it. That’s pretty low.

So many things wrong with this report. First, why are they even reporting this event? It’s like a CIA operative dying. We don’t hear about it for a reason. Second, why. the. heck. are they reporting the commander’s name? Good grief. Protect his family you idiots. Third:
Find this person and deal with him or her. Unbelievable. We are rotting from the inside.

RIP, shipmate.

I read somewhere that due to Obama and company spiking the football most of that Seal team died when they were targeted by al qaeda. Anybody got a link to that?
