But there have been, I think, half a dozen such people who died in surprising ways in the past month or two. Seems to be slightly above what one would normally expect. Of course, some of us are now "on the lookout" for such news events, and so we see things we might never have noticed.
I don't want to make too much of it, but Obama doesn't like the military, and he doesn't like guns, and there seem to be a fair number of such people who are dying. It's just "unexpected".
Interesting that a helicopter goes down on a movie ranch in southern california anywhere and no one gets any video of it?
