They still haven’t found the hit team? After all he had endured in Iraq, hero Chris Kyle’s life was ended suddenly in America. Looks like they missed getting hero Spencer, thank God.

It’s ironic, but also often true that service members are safer on the job (even in combat zones) than at home on liberty. I was flight deck officer on a carrier, and we could operate all day & all night safely in an inherently risky environment, because the emphasis always was on safety. Get the sailors home and on liberty — particularly without a shipmate along — and hell breaks loose. Lost an airman whose crotch-rocket skidded and went over a bridge abutment; he hit a light standard, broke into three pieces, and fell to the roadway 75 feet below. A chief petty office was re-attaching his boat & trailer to his vehicle that had come unhitched on the freeway. Another vehicle slammed into the back of the trailer and amputated his leg. Three of my sailors returning from liberty missed the 90-degree left turn to enter the main gate to the air station and drove through the perimeter wall in front of them. A young sailor’s parents were killed in an auto accident as we were returning from deployment — he chose to stay on the ship and take leave when we arrived stateside. He went home to Minnesota and literally was hit & killed by a Greyhound bus that was driving in a snowstorm; he was on foot.
