A Moment of Silence
Posted in Uncategorized on 02/25/2002 01:00 am by Daniel HaganTwo Green Beret soldiers were shot, and one killed, in a terrible training accident in North Carolina today. In what appears to be an incredibly tragic failure of communications, the soldiers mistook a deputy sheriff for a participant in an exercise. When the deputy attempted to seize a weapon the solders had, they attempted to disarm him. Fearing for his life, the officer (who was unaware of the military exercise) shot both men.
I have no witty comments for this one. It’s a sad day when the life of a man is lost, especially one dedicated enough to his country to become a Green Beret.
