The least they could do is give this young woman's family some closure. :(

1. Bush's rape goons?

I have no faith in the shit suckers who raped the little boys in Abu Graib not to do the same shit to American troops. I won't be suprised if she were murdered by the same shit suckers. Be a good explanation for why they don't tell her family.

2. That's what I was kinda thinking...

There has to be some reason why they want to conceal it so badly.

3. Can they do that ?????

Was in the Navy 6 years, but I never heard of the military NOT telling the family how their family member died. One of my young Seamen got drunk one night and was crossing a bridge on the wrong side of the safety rail (yea, he was hanging over the water) slipped and fell to his death. We still had to tell his parents what happened, though I believe the parents not told that most of his shipmates thought it was a really dumb shit way to get killed.
:wtf:

4. self inflicted not suicide? How horrible to not know.

Poor family. They need to know how she died.

5. that means a negligent discharge

we have a bunch of bunglers over there who shouldn't even be trusted with live ammo. In fact, a lot of them AREN'T trusted with live ammo.

6. It sounds as though it was an

accident with her weapon. They said it was under investigation. Probably when they have answers they will tell the family.
