You don't have the balls to play battleship so STFU.
This isn't even remotely laughable. The poor ranger's kids & husband. She had 2 young kids. Other part that's not laughable is the fact that this fool is still out there. Or the chance that he's still out there, if he was able to survive the cold & snow. Not to mention it's not too far from my house. At least I'm an hour & a half drive from there. But who's to say this guy wouldn't kill again?
Damn...war seriously ed this dude up in the head...
do any of those tattoos have special meanings... white sup, or gangs, or stuff like that? or just random tats?
Well, this one's for, shorthand. And, uh, this one over here is for typing, And, uh, this is for surfing.
What's funny is that the government wants us to consider this guy a hero while they ignore the mental problems they've given him by sending him to Iraq.
The standard military bivy sleep system is supposed to be good down to -30, so I wouldn't worry too much about the cold getting to him.
Reports are coming in that they found the dude dead...
That's pretty weak; I would expect the military to have trained this guy to last longer than that tbh.
Is this guy still on the loose?
true tbh; he obviously didn't "have what it takes"
Dam dude some army guy your girlfriend or something? Seem bitter tbh
I know you're trolling, but anyone who goes to war for this country deserves our thanks. War vets are human beings, which means some of them are straight-up crazy. This is a sad story... there's nothing funny about it.
Why? Last time I checked they weren't drafted against their will. They're gainfully employed.
This makes the appreciation greater, not less.
HTH
Looks like he froze to death in the snow

The body of a man believed responsible for fatally shooting a ranger in Mount Rainier National Park on Sunday has been found in a ditch in the snow, law enforcement sources said Monday.
Earlier Monday, Mount Rainier spokesman Kevin Bacher said the gunman, Benjamin Colton Barnes, was believed to be in the Paradise area of the park and that searchers hoped that the cold weather would affect him as he tried to evade the manhunt.
“We do think we have figured out generally where he is,” Bacher said.
Authorities had been flying over the park last night using heat-seeking equipment and had been tracking the suspect through the snow.
But several law enforcement sources said that a body with “no heat signature” was found not far from Paradise about 10:20 a.m. Monday. The body was spotted from a plane and SWAT team members had spotted it from the ground, but it was far away and in difficult terrain so obviously the cause of death and a postive identification have not been confirmed.
“The strong possibility is that it is” Barnes, said Det. Ed Troyer, spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office
Yup.
My thoughts exactly!
Very sad indeed.
I think it's funny how non-military types think the military trains soldiers to survive in all situations.
They get boot camp, learn to fold and iron and how to listen to orders. They learn military law and some recently have to learn the harassment bull , then they go to a confidence course and it's about like a playscape. They go to a firing range and qualify on the M-16. Some learn to disassemble the very simple rifle, clean and reassemble it. Advanced courses down the line for Rangers and such have them going to jump school and SERE and those kinds of things, and some hand to hand combat, but the average joe is just doing what his NCO tells him, and he learns along the way.
Relatively few military types have any survival skills to speak of unless they can call in artillery, have backup or happen to be in a tank.
I didn't read the entire article, but unless this dude was on some combined recon team or some clandestine operator, he can freeze in the snow just like anyone else.
This.
No, they're just chasing a paycheck like everyone else. They even get free room and board, sounds like a pretty sweet deal imho. If you wanna tongue their balls for being mercenaries, then far be it from me to stop you.
War can do that. Looks like they found him dead in the snow from the elements.
I was wondering that too. How does someone with gang tats get in the military. Must have had them afterwards.
I think vets and some others appreciate the effort as a whole, not so much on the individual level, like how one would appreciate paramedics, cops and firefighters.
Plus, it's a gang and a gang mentality. Once you've been part of it, you often feel a closer kinship with those who are or have been in than those who sit back and lob insults from behind their monitors at their parent funded dorm.
