Well, this is certainly an interesting little tidbit.

[Churchillspirit]

Know some marines stationed there.

Imagine no-one is allowed to comment.

RIP, General.

[OKSooner]

Just fell over dead?

Or was it a deal like the late General Jack D. Ripper?

[bert]

Actually, Duckie as not yet produced a finding

[OKSooner]

Duckie?

Whoozat?

[PrairieLady2]

Duckie is a character in the tv series NCIS.

[Rummyfan]

The pathologist on the NCIS TV series, played by David McCallum.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Was he dressed as a woman when he was found? Fair question these days.

[pfflier]

My first inclination is suicide as a cause of death. Some career military retirees can’t adjust to retirement.

[Little Pig]

Oh are you missing out. If you get the chance, watch the first four or five seasons of the tv show NCIS. It should be available on one of the big platforms (Netflix, Amazon, etc). David McCallum, who played Ilya Kuryakin in the old TV show “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” plays the medical examiner, Dr. Mallard (hence the nickname Ducky, though only to his friends) in NCIS. The show itself is pretty good, and McCallum got so good at his part through research (he trained with a coroner for the role) that he sometimes got invited to actual medical conferences to speak.

My guess would be it was self inflicted, mental health is a huge problem in the military.

[circlecity]

I notice they are not saying where on the base he was found.

[Robert DeLong]

Retired Maj. Gen. William Mullen, 59, was found dead at a military base in California on Saturday.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

He retired four years ago and he was on a base? Is that common? Brought back as a consultant?

[Ezekiel]

He also served as a Marine aide to former President Bill Clinton

IBTCBC.

“Building 1651”

Thanks for the synopsis of the show, LP. I remember David McCallum from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. — that was decades ago. I’ll have to check it out.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Retired. If he were active we should be concerned.

[SaveFerris]

Wow, an O-8

I don’t think I ever saw anyone over O-6 when I worked for the USMCR

Get Scott Bakula and his Woke Cross-Dressing Team there so they can conclude it was da Ruzzians .... (yeah I saw a few episodes on hotel TV)

Oh wait, the show was canceled - GOOD

If it wasn’t da Ruzzians, it was some other Woke target group (yeah you can imagine)

[Red Badger]

I was stationed there in ‘73.

It is normally 120°F this time of year.

If it wasn’t a homicide, he probably died of heatstroke..................
