Soldier, 24, who was among last to leave Afghanistan during catastrophic US withdrawal is one of three suspected suicides in two days being investigated at Fort Drum army base
2021-10-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Pfc. Tyler Thomas, 21, Spc. Sika Tapueluelu, 26, and Staff Sgt. Angel Green, 24, are all believed to have died by suicide within 48 hours of each other

  • Their deaths were announced officially by Fort Drum on September 19

  • Green was one of the last soldiers to return from Afghanistan during the chaotic US exit from Kabul and returned to the army base in New York on September 6

  • Their deaths are currently being treated as separate incidents as each soldier served in different platoons and occupied different roles

  • 'We want to know what didn't we catch. What are we missing?' said the soldiers' commander in a statement

  • The soldiers were all part of the 10th Mountain Division which deployed extensively to Iraq and Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks

  • Many members of the division participated in the US military's withdrawal from Afghanistan last month

#4  I am told Ft Drum is a completely depressing post surrounded by hostile civilians.

#3  America now has a self-destructive, suicidal culture. Look up the "deaths of despair" studies, or the stats showing declining longevity. Look at the extreme hate fest of the last 17 months, or the appalling Facebook / Instagram internal documents revealed in the blockbuster Wall Street Journal series.

We're killing our young.
