The Army and local police are investigating the deaths of 11 Fort Hood soldiers who have died on and off the large Texas base in the past three months under mysterious circumstances, according to reports.

Agreed, the title is misleading when it includes deaths that occurred overseas while engaged in wartime activities.

That inclusion kind of discredits the rest of the story since they stretched the imagination in order to Up the suspicious death toll to 11.

Similarily the dead soldier ‘body found next to car that had flipped multiple times’ Biggest non-combat dangers to young soldier have been alcoholic beverages, driving cars fast and curving roads. I saw too many cases of that during my 20 years in the Army. And Ft. Hood was no exception.

There are a lot of foreign military troops stationed at Ft. Hood. They have their own area on the base. Maybe, just maybe these deaths are related to covering up what those troops are doing...
Large stockpiles of AK ammo being stockpiled, not sure whether this is at the base also...

And where did you get this information from? I have been on Fort Hood since 1975, both as military (infantry and court reporter) and DA civilian, and I have never seen a "foreign troop area" anywhere on Fort Hood. The few foreign military that I've ever seen are the officers that hang out at the Corps and Division headquarters, usually liaisons there for the time when part of the Corps or 1st Cav heads off to other lands on deployments.

Occasionally, a foreign helicopter or MI unit comes to Fort Hood for training .. at most 100 or so individuals. There are no .. I repeat, no .. concentrations of foreign soldiers on Fort Hood.

I would sincerely like to know where you picked up this false information. While there may be some stockpiles of AK ammunition here, I've never heard of it being more than just what is needed so as to allow line combat soldiers familiarize themselves by firing Soviet-era/style weaponry. I know they used to have RPGs here as well .. I fired three of them way back when I was in the infantry. I missed the day that the rest of the unit went out to fire the AKs and machineguns.

I would really doubt if there are ever more than 100-200 foreign military personnel on Fort Hood at any given time.

These were all suicides. They committed suicide by knowing something about the Clintons, or by the Clintons having no further use of them.

I’m willing to admit that I may be wrong. However, your presence on the base is not sufficient to determine how many foreign troops are there; unless you investigated all areas on the base. My information comes from reasonable sources.

I didn’t say the ammo was stored there. I agree that some Russian rounds are needed...

[BlueLancer]

Well, at least monthly, there is no portion of Fort Hood on which I haven't traveled, including West Fort Hood, North Fort Hood, and the training areas. To get to where I need to go to fulfill my civil service job, there isn't a road I haven't driven or a battalion headquarters area that I haven't visited at least once a month. Except for the airfield on West Fort Hood and some of the ammo bunker areas out in the training areas, there has been no place to which I haven't been allowed at need ... and, with advance prep, even the airfield and the ammo storage areas can be accessed.

So I am quite confident that there is a small number of officer/senior NCO level foreign liaisons present and, on a normal basis, no large .. and, by "large", I mean nothing bigger than company-sized .. foreign units on the Fort Hood reservation

I stopped readin when I saw the combat deaths scored.

These were all suicides

You forgot the "wink, wink".

I get what you mean - my apologies.

Thank you, for you useful info, BlueLancer.

That doesn’t sound right. It’s been going on a lot longer than 3 months. I remember an Ebola scare in 2015 http://www.kwtx.com/content/news/288431181.html

Lazy reporter? Or part of the cover up?

I remember a year when we had about a half dozen+ deaths in my Div. in 2 weeks. (Between bad driving and stupidity) Dumbassed things like standing behind a deuce as it backed against a building, using an APC to keep warm at night by having the engine run, driving a jeep darting in and out in between moving tanks that are creating dust clouds, smoking while transporting powder bags. This was the National Guard at AT, they weren’t in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. (Any wonder why I went into the AR?)

Wow sounds like y'all had some major safety issues. We had two major injuries in our bravo troop a couple years ago when two privates rolled a Humvee on a fuel run. Smashed up an LRAS good too. They had us taking a couple major safety classes and all sorts of pita restrictions and stuff for the next couple days. Dunno when you were in, but nowadays they take safety shit a bit too far. Safety first, common sense second!
