Official: Navy SEAL died of apparent suicide
WASHINGTON — U.S. military officials are investigating the apparent suicide of a Navy SEAL commander in Afghanistan.
Cmdr. Job W. Price, 42, of Pottstown, Pa., died Saturday of a gunshot wound to the head while supporting stability operations in Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, a U.S. military official said Monday on condition of anonymity because the death is still under investigation.
The official said Price failed to show up for an appointment and was found when others went to check on him.
Price was from Virginia Beach, Va.-based SEAL Team 4, which is part of the mission to train Afghan local police to stave off the Taliban in remote parts of Afghanistan.
It was not immediately known when Price started his tour of duty in Afghanistan, though he had been in command of the team of 25 to 30 men since June 2011, the official said. He said Price had no immediately known professional or work problems other than the stresses of deployment, which can be tremendous for troops.

One way or another, our government will ensure more troops leave in Body Bags. Was that what He really meant when he said he would bring them home?

People are sick of the fruitless failed war of attrition where our government's failures and corruption are not to be revealed or discussed. Even the young enlisted troops seem not to understand what the facts are and they are seemingly content to be just cannon fodder. A good man died today. We can only imagine the suffering so many are going through after 11 years of war. No real victory. No parades. No real progress. Just a big bill for 2 trillion and 10,000 of our guys and gals dead so Obama can say ''all Muslims love us now''.
