MANAMA, Bahrain (Oct. 24, 2018) Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces, speaks on the 1MC shipboard intercom to welcome the crew of the guided-missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109) to Manama, Bahrain, and share words of appreciation for their hard work on the ship's current deployment. Jason Dunham is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.

Let me guess: He used the wrong pronoun for one of Obama’s ‘children’ and was about to get a Dishonorable.

Absolutely no reason at this time to suspect anything but depression or internal demons as the cause of death. As a retired veteran, I’m saddened that yet another military suicide is in the news.

Dead men don’t talk.

A very sad end for both the Admiral and for his family. He served our country and Navy well but found himself in a place so dark he took his life. If any of us reading this news finds him or herself having such dark thoughts, please step back and find solace in Jesus or similar positive thoughts. Life is too precious to give up, help is near.
