Shocking. I never met him personally but I talked to him on FR. How awful. :(

“...however why did he do it?”

I believe, and some research shows, that the high rate of suicide in the miltary is partly due to the many vaccinations soldiers receive, which affect their psyche via altered meatbolism, to the extent of creating suicidal tendencies.

Of the military suicides, they might want to look at how many had received multiple vaccines within the prior year and what the mercury content of them was. Depression and/or other cognitive symptoms setting in following such should be looked at.

I haven’t cried for anyone I didn’t know in a while. But this does hit close to home. People that suffer unbearable pain to the point where that pain consumes everything struggle to live. It is hard to imagine if you’ve never been there before, but once you’re consumed almost no one can save you.

There are some suicides that are selfish. And there are suicides that are due to an individual ending a hell that they can no longer continue.

I pray with all my heart for his soul, his wife, and his precious children and family members/friends.

Very sad and ironic. That a man who gave his all for us would be driven to take his own life. He is now in the hands of the all consuming mercy of the crucified Christ

Dang Dang Dang- This is really sad news- When I had my blog, Flopping Aces was one of my first links, and I often pointed to articles on their site- We will sorely miss Chris- He was TRULY a credit to his profession, His dedication to the blog, and to gettign hte TRUTH out htere, and was one of the best in my opinion. I wish to extend my sympathies to Chris’ family

Like Chris, I have an infant daughter. I can’t imagine killing myself and leaving her behind, not to mention my other kids and wife.

That doesn’t mean I’m condemning him. My point is I literally can’t imagine the pain he was in if this looked like a good idea to him. It must have been absolutely horrible.

Major Galloway, you were a hero proved in liberating strife, and I hope you found the peace that eluded you on this Earth.
