A tragic, painful loss. Yes, I question the timing & coincidence because that's what I do now. But regardless of how it came about - the loss seems bitter and deep indeed. Prayers up for the hearts and minds of those they left behind. :(
re the sailor suicides, General Blather had a good post:

I looked it up. The suicide rate is 14.7 per 100,000. For the crew of 5,000 there should be .7 suicides per year. Their rate is very high. The highest rates are in middle aged white men, which are 69% of the total.
The article’s authors really let us down by not providing any details. What were their ages and races? Where drugs found in their systems? Did they have anything to do with the Clintons?
