That's what occurred to me. “In a training area”,you'd think,would mean some sort of training accident. But if it was the army wouldn't be reluctant to make that clear.

[Gay State Conservative]

Given their ages and rank I’d say no.Much more likely that a woman’s involved.

The guy paid his dues, whatever brought about his demise. May he RIP.

Indeed. Satan is working overtime. He know his time is short. Look up!

Can't read ...

Here is the money quote:

Their bodies were discovered together on Wednesday, prompting an investigation, the Army said. On Friday, officials identified Army Master Sgt. William J. Lavigne II, 37, as one of the men but did not release further information.

Early signs suggest the men may have been engaged in criminal activity before their deaths, according to a defense official familiar with the incident. Their remains were found together in a remote part of the training area, with one body in a car, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the circumstances are under investigation.

It remains unclear what happened at the scene and if other people might have been involved.

From the WaPo article: A woman who identified herself as Lavigne’s ex-wife declined to comment and did not provide contact information for his family members. Dumas’s family could not be reached for comment.

A woman is involved.

No one else brought it up so grab your tin foil hats.....

He was killed in Germany in the firefight between Special Forces and the CIA over the Dominion server then transported back to the US.

(ducking)

W/o knowing anything more, the guy in the car murdered the other guy. Then, rigged the car and died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The woman was the catalyst.

"I noticed his National Defense Service Ribbon is on the fourth row at the right. I was thinking there was an assigned order to the ribbons and the National Defense Ribbon went on the first row in the center."

Ribbons are worn according to order of precedence, so the placement of any single ribbon will be determined by it's "rank" relative to any other ribbon(s) worn. As such no particular ribbon will ever be worn in the same place, but will be ordered based on the number of other ribbons, and what they all are.

[SisterK]

that was my first guess

[PAR35]

Sounds more like a woman who chooses to not be involved.

[PAR35]

I like your theory better than mine. But I still think mine is better than the folks that think a chick is involved.

"Fort Bragg -— so much goes on inside that base... if the public knew — they would be terrified... crazy place Fayetteville is..."
I did my second Basic as an intelligence analyst there. I got guard duty one night guarding the motor pool with an empty riffle and saw a bunch of guys climbing over the 8 ft fence. I call the sergeant of the guard who said, "Oh, it's just the Green Berets having fun. Don't worry about it."

I remember being at Fort Huachuca — they caught a supply sgt re-routing one of the Abrams out to an under cover FBI agent... a MAIN BATTLE TANK — as if that could be written off as a field lost... the Army — good times!

Or no women involved at all

Foul play is suspected in deaths of Special Forces soldier, 37, and a veteran, 44, whose bodies were discovered in a training area on Fort Bragg.

Bodies of Master Sgt. William Lavigne II, 37, and Army veteran Timothy Dumas, 44, who previously served at Fort Bragg were found on the base on Wednesday.

Source said one of the bodies was found lying flat, while the other was wrapped in a blanket next to a pickup truck.

Army officials said two men were found in a training area, but their deaths were not related to official unit training
Lavigne was a Special Forces soldier who served 19 years in the military and deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan ].
