Tinker Air Force Base officials say 17 personnel have died this year.

After being first reported by military.com, Tinker Installation Commander, Col. Abigail Ruscetta now confirms that Tinker Air Force Base has ‘experienced 17 deaths since January.’

According to Ruscetta, 11 uniformed and civilian Airmen died as a result of natural causes or accidents. The six remaining deaths are a result of other causes, some of which remain under investigation.

Ruscetta says most of those who died were civilians

Definitely fentanyl or some illegal party drug. Remember they are a segment of society so they can be as careless as the civilian population.

I don’t think having 17 people die on a military base is unusual. Lifers die of heart attacks, younger guys die in accidents, suicide, or sometimes murder, drug ODs, etc. When I was in the Army in the early 70s it was estimated that the Army lost about 16,000 troops per year via accidents, etc.

At this point I personally know several young people who have had strokes, severe heart problems, or other issues that are normally associated with old age. The common denominator is that they all received the so called “vax”. There isn’t going to be enough money in the world to pay off the families of the dead and injured when the real “science” finally confirms what almost everyone already knows at a gut level.

But do not despair, everyone who received one of the MRNA “vaccines” has achieved the thing currently most cherished in our society... victimhood. People have been seriously injured and, in many cases, have died after they were lied to by the authorities, about the dangers associated with a “medical treatment”. It does not matter what type of legislative immunity the government has granted Pfizer, etc.., themselves and others... lying and gross negligence are not protected by these types of “agreements”. People who knew or should have known, who promoted these poisons all share considerable liability.

We don’t know the ages and it sounds like this is about a 6 or 7 month period of time. (I read 1 report that said since Spring, so who knows)

That's 5,840,000 deaths per year in the Army alone.

Tinker is a logistics base. Aircraft maintenance, which is a great deal more than turning wrenches on bolts. The base manages the AWACS fleet and the airborne command post fleet.

It is therefore a base loaded with civilians. Civilian Air Force employees. Every maintenance manual for every piece of equipment gets written by those civilians.

These can be all ages, well into their 50s, certainly older than the military people on the base.

It is just outside Oklahoma City and summers are hot.

-- "...in the Army alone."

But just think, today's new enlistee -- and perhaps tomorrow's new draftee, if the Democrats get their way -- will enjoy a commanding officer-ette or Captain Tranny, under the guidance of General Ray Theon....

A woman base commander, and troops dropping dead from a communist Chinese virus the US Government funded. Can you imagine telling that story to the Air Force commanders from the 1950s?

Oh, another item.

If even one military death takes place, maybe in a hangar doing repairs, the commanding officers of relevant squadrons all the way up to the base commander will have their careers immediately at risk.

There will be no details of the resulting investigation made public while it is underway. This means precisely nothing re conspiracy. It is part of any possible court martial pending.

These are rare. Retirements are arranged instead.

Yeah, the whole article is just hyperventilation without some additional data, like:

How many people died there in this time frame in 2019?

How many folks worked at the base in 2019? Now? (so you can get an idea of deaths per 1000 or something).

Not saying they don't have a big problem, but a little perspective would be nice.
