Well....it could have happened. Maybe he was just a bit drunk, and decided to clean the weapon while it was loaded.

Tough call. Either admit he was assassinated which shows that your security was compromised, or that he was an incompetent fool who can’t even clean a pistol correctly.

Wonder how far up the chain that decision was made at considering he was a general.

Didn’t realize Trump has now engaged the Iranians to help investigate Hillary.

But I guess so...

Have you ever cleaned a pistol?

Gotta say, I have been watching those old John Wayne movies. Muzzle discipline was non existent in those days, it seems. A miracle there weren’t more accidental discharge injuries.

I bet it was the Mossad Pistol Cleaning Service.

I think there is a mossad agent somewhere reading this article with a wry grin on his face.

Just shows how serious he was about suicide. Wanted to do it right and be sure and thorough.

Who knows. Maybe his favorite camel rejected his advances and he couldn’t take the rejection. Read somewhere that he moved on from little boys to goats and finally on to two humpers.

Love is a strong emotion....

I meant that rhetorically. Not you specifically.

That whole “shot himself while cleaning a gun” meme is not real world.

Then start stripping it.

He was told, “If you listen real closely, you can hear the ocean in the gun barrel...”

Hey, it happens.

People have been known to “accidentally” handcuff themselves while cleaning a gun...

Then...BOOM....they shoot themselves in the back of the head.
