Without knowing which units the suicide victims come from it’s a little difficult to know for sure. One clue is that Ft. Campbell is home to the 5th Special Forces Group (Green Berets). They are oriented toward Southwest Asia & the Middle East. The 5th SFG deployment schedule must be insane because their linguistic skills (among others) are in so much demand.

Other Special Forces Groups can & do help, but if they haven’t studied the culture & language of the area they can’t be as effective.

Just throwing that out there for others to comment.
