Be All That You Can Be. Or Die.
The Eureka Times-Standard, on May 20th, had a front-page story about Matthew Scarano, whose death at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, is still being covered up by the military. The T-S headline reads, "I Fell Through The Cracks", with the subtitle, "Army releases cause of death for local soldier; family dissatisfied with investigation so far".
Well, the family should also be troubled by the lack of any real reporting by their hometown newspaper. This shouldn't come as a surprise, however. MediaNews Group, owners of the Times-Standard, was one of the major newspaper chains that did not care enough about the American people to reveal (August 4, 2005) the "Bush Bulge" story prior to the stolen 2004 "election".
Had the T-S did even a modicum of research, they would have received a lesson in what true investigative journalism is like: JoAnn Wypijewski's article at CounterPunch, "Malevolent Power at Fort Sill: The Army Slays Its Own".
Was Matthew Scarano given an overdose of Fentanyl by a military determined to "get him off the books" of Fort Sill? Or was Matthew Scarano conned by the military to believe that numbing the pain with an extremely dangerous drug the only way he could escape from imprisonment at Fort Sill?
Either way, you don't need a DNA test to see the military's "fingerprints" all over the place.
While the military demands loyalty by those in its ranks, that street all-too-often only runs one way.
In what column--"Us" or "Them"--does the death of a U.S. servicemember go when the death is caused by the U.S. military?
