They are also waiting for autopsy results

I wouldn't trust an autopsy conducted by the military.

My brother-in-law reported to Ft. Bragg for a new assignment. They gave him 17 shots in one day when they processed him in.

He came down w/ myocarditis right after that and survived approx. 2 months.

When he died in a civilian hospital, the Army grabbed the body and shipped it back to Bragg and did their own autopsy so quickly no one had time to think about it.

I don't know if they had found anything that embarassed them, but I suspect they were following SOP just in case.

17 shots is scarey.

One time my unit was alerted for a contingency mission to deploy with little notice to, er, a foreign continent. We were all lined up and given shots like running through a gantlet. I was miserable the next two days.

Same thing happened for desert storm. Unfortunately, the army thinks your body belongs to them. Remember the big dust up over anthrax vacine for the military. You had a choice, take a court martial or take a shot. And i also remember having no option on confiscation of my DNA. We were told to go get our blood drawn. Not showing up was not an option.

I love the army, it is one of the greatest institutions in our country. But man, I think these medical types have waaaaaay to much power.

no, it wasn't SOP. It was a quickly executed CYA operation.
