U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas D. Goshen passed away from natural causes on September 6, 2022 while serving in Eastern Europe. Lt. Col. Goshen was deployed with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and was based at Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania.
Since June, the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) has nearly 4,000 soldiers deployed to Europe to assure NATO Allies and deter Russian aggression.
“Nick was a valued member of the team whose passion and commitment to the division and our Soldiers was extraordinary,” said Maj. Gen. JP McGee, commanding general of the 101st Airborne Division. “I can personally attest to his exceptional talent. He will be missed.”
Born in Ohio on October 26, 1981, Goshen was commissioned as an Infantry Officer in 2004 after attending The Citadel Military College of South Carolina. After graduating Ranger School, he was stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky. with 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), where he deployed to Iraq as a platoon leader. He served as the Associate Professor of Military Science at the University of Southern California, simultaneously earning a master’s degree in communications in 2010. Goshen then served with 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, where he deployed to Afghanistan. He then served with the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment where he deployed to Afghanistan twice. Goshen served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vicenza, Italy. Following his tour in Italy, Goshen once again served with the 75th Ranger Regiment and deployed to Afghanistan. Goshen also served at the Pentagon, on the Joint Staff,
before returning to Fort Campbell in 2022 with the 101st Airborne Division. Goshen has deployed seven times, one deployment to Iraq and six deployments to Afghanistan, totaling
42 months of overseas combat deployments.
Russian sniper?
You have to wonder if he died in a country due east of Romania. Additionally, he could have died of natural causes, the bullet that killed him had no artificial ingredients.
Natural Causes? 41 year old men in great shape don’t die of natural causes.
Maybe he had a recent Covid booster. That can result in “Natural Causes”.
Was vaxxed.
Romania? Maybe he was trying out for the local soccer team?

This is normal.
41 year old men in excellent shape occasionally die. This happens.
That said, every single “unexpected” death of “unknown causes” should be investigated to the hilt, and I don’t believe they are.
That makes me very suspicious. And given what I have seen in our society, I feel justified in that.
It may be due to a vaccination. It may not, it may be just another fit guy dying unexpectedly. But I am far past the point of accepting any “unexpected” death as “one of those things that just happens” anymore.
Post Covid, its the NEW normal.
Very well said.
He died of rain. The rain of Russian artillery. I’m sure most below his grade don’t get mentioned, and our Ukrainian flag waving MEDIA won’t ever cover the boxes going home at the dead of night.
You know he has been vaxxed and likely boosted.
That covid vax is a real killer.
natural causes, my a##
I assume he is a vax casualty. If he was killed on an op they’d report it as a training exercise. Or a chopper crash offshore.
We obviously must be cognizant that we live in a world where communication is much more instant and is delivered in many ways for many different purposes.
I always try to keep in that in mind when I see a bump in something that in the past was relatively rare, because today, we can hear about it.
This was driven home to me when I was in the USN. I saw a good number of airplane crashes with my own eyes (most people have never even seen one, but in four years, I saw four with my own eyes. And I knew, being in the military aviation community, that this was far from rare, so there were a lot of planes crashing.)
When I became a civilian back before the Internet, I realized, you only heard about those crashes back in the day if you were exposed to it (as we were, reading documents about accidents throughout the fleet, in the expectation we would learn lessons about it and avoid repeating them) if you lived in a military community, or if you had an accident nearby that made the news. There seemed to be about 3-6 a month throughout all branches of the US military.
Otherwise, most people didn’t know, and if you told them that, they were surprised.
Now, with the Internet, you can hear about them. So it SEEMS like there are more, even though the numbers may be the same or even decreased.
I think it is like that in a lot of areas, and is something to keep in mind.
But I personally would like to see the statistics on “deaths of unknown causes” for all people plotted over time, because it seems unnatural to me.
